Your PATH is wrong. You are not using FPC's make, but Borlands. (see the first line, Inprise Corp)

Peter did some great things that make FPCing on Windows 2000 a lot more workable. I don't know if your problems are related, but try this:

1. Download makew32.zip from ftp.freepascal.org directory /pub/dist/fpc-1.0.6/separate/
(there is no 1.0.6 at the moment, this is just the future build directory)
2. Unzip it in pp/bin/win32
3. Properties of "My Computer", (system properties), click tab "advanced", and then "Environment Variables".
4. In the bottom box, select the "Path" entry, and then "Edit"
5. In the top field of this dialog, change "Path" to "PATH", and click OK.

A lot of makefile trouble is then probably gone. Hmm, maybe wise to add this to the faq. :_)

show me the errors (exactly )
maybe i can help you ....

This is already as FAQ in the CVS (for the FPC page though).

+ From: Peter Vreman
+
+ The Makefiles aren't working for W2K.

?? Or I didn't do a make for half a year (on W2K) or it works for me

+ First, Lazarus needs updated Makefile.fpc to support the
+ latest fpcmake. This will create Makefiles that also work under
+ full cygwin environment.

OK, I'll update them.

+ Second you need to get the updated makew32 available from the
+ ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/dist/win32-1.0.6/separate/makew32.zip +
+ Then the makefiles will work under command.com prompt under
+ W2K. For the cmd.exe prompt we still need to test things and fix make.exe

I'll Add/Change this FAQ

I got it working under command.com.

The Makefiles aren't working for W2K.

Hi all,
I'm trying to "make" Lazarus......
I've gone through the steps listed on the website carefully twice and still no luck.
Installed:
FPC1.4
Patched:
it to 1.5
Replaced:
SH from ash-20010425.tar.gz - Cygnus
RM,MV from fileutils.tar.gz - Cygnus
MAKE from make-3.79.1-3.tar.gz - Cygnus
Extracted:
gtk-dlls.zip to \Winnt\System32
lazarus.zip (source) to \pp\source\lazarus
Ran:
make - in the source\lazarus folder.

And all I got a whole bunch of "Command syntax error messages" The binary IDE runs fine.

Any help would be much appreciated thanks

Patrick

You are using the new makew32.zip in a command.com prompt? Or another environment?
