Thx.
I have applied it. Although not tested (no windows at the moment).

Okay, I solved it myself, GetEnv is in unit DOS - when I added that, The FindFirst Reference in DirectoryExists refused it's parameters.

So I changed the reference of it and the FindClose to Sysutils.FindFirst and Sysutils.FindClose.

here's a patch (attached).

I am guessing it might be that GetEnv should be in SysUtils as well as Dos, but I'll leave that to someone more qualified.

Anyway, I couldn't build without the patch.

Hi all.

I have been a lurker on this list a while, and I now have the chance to make an app in freepascal (unfortunately it's a closed source app, but I can also work on a opensource project as well (-: ).

Right, so my main target is Win32 - all my development currently is under win32, apart from daemon-level stuff on linux, which I use jstar/ppc386 for.

I used cvs on the linux server to pull latest lazarus and copied it to my win32 machine which has fpc-1.0.6 installed in c:\pp. I put it in c:\lazarus.

I issued the command fpcmake, but this didn't do anything useful, so I wiped out the dir, got make.exe from mingw (I have too little space for cygwin), and ran it.

The error I got was "windres: images/mainicon.ico: read of 7336 returned 1198". I looked at it, and yes, that file didn't seem to be a windows compatible icon. The xpm source is 64x64 and I couldn't find an icon editor on my machine that actually creates the new-format 64x64 icons. So I went to webcvs and pulled the 1.0 version!

That got me past that one, but then I reran make and the following happened :

Compiling ideprocs.pp
ideprocs.pp(165,5) Note: Local variable ATEXT not used
ideprocs.pp(245,31) Hint: Parameter AFILENAME not used
ideprocs.pp(624,11) Error: Identifier not found GETENV
ideprocs.pp(629,13) Error: Identifier not found GETENV
ideprocs.pp(632,15) Error: Identifier not found GETENV
ideprocs.pp(746) Fatal: There were 3 errors compiling module, stopping
make[1]: *** [lazarus.exe] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/lazarus'
make: *** [ide] Error 2

Now I'd rather not wind back ideprocs.pp to get the unit working, and I'll start grepping for GETENV, but in the meantime, anyone know why this might be?
