Thanks Shane for your answer!
I made one mistake in my original message. I was trying to compile under win 2000 professional (not 98). So I downloaded as the lazarus page says some files from sygwin, and the compilation works...
What I was unable to make it to work is the linker. It is truncating the file names to 8 characters and in unable to link.
I downloaded the lattest version of ldw (from the fpc site) with should be compatible with win 2000 but it didn't work.
What should I do?
I want lazarus working before starting to work on it.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: [lazarus] Questions on compiling
Hi,
In the last 2 weeks I was trying to compile fpc and lazarus in > windows 98...
I installed fpc and then lazarus on a pc... then i copied everything > to this new one and deleted the old one (that's why I can't check to > old one).
Now I can't compile anything. The ppc386.exe works (i was able to > compile it once in this last weeks).
What I don't know are wich environmental variables should I set to > make it work???
I already put the c:\fpc\bin\win32 directory in the path...
what else should I do?
I want to help in the lazarus development... may be in the win32 > interface or something else in my free times (I don't have much of that > but I could try).
Thanks
