I've gotten the snapshot from the freepascal and tried making it using my current version. It dies when trying to make win32zip, everything else it claims is fine. What do I need to get when I'm done recompiling the gtk-package. Am I looking for dll's or header source or something else?

Someone else has had it, was any solution found? I've traced it to initialization code, but got lost in the details.

D:\lazarus>lazarus
LM_SCREENINIT called --> should go to GTKObject.Init TODO: check this

I don't have it, (maybe have had it), but I have recompiled the gtk-package with a snapshot compiler.

So I think you can solve by downloading and installing snapshots from the fpc site http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html

When I first read your message, I mis-understood it, and got a cvs image and tried recompiling the compiler etc. Tonight I tried the snapshots as you originally said, and I GOT IT WORKING!

Thanks for all the help everyone.

I suppose you're using the windows version?!

It's enough to recompile the rtl/fcl/gtk with the release compiler, but with smartlinking off. Maybe even
make OPT=-XS
helps when compiling lazarus.

Sorry, if I led you into the wrong direction.

Please,

Read the following mail thread in the lazarus-list archive: http://www.miraclec.com/list_archives/lazarus/msg00984.html

I hope this is the situation you are in and helps you. Vincent Snijders.

Ok going a bit further.
in the gtkobject.inc module (why use include?) there is a big scarry note
saying:
        WriteLN('LM_SCREENINIT called --> should go to GTKObject.Init');
        WriteLN('TODO: check this');
        { Initialize gdk }
        //??? shouldn't this go to init ????
        // MWE: Move this to init !!!!!
        gdk_init(@argc, @argv);

and in the
