Thank you for help. I've found a problem with the mainicon.ico file at images subdirectory. Even the image editor of Delphi was not able to open it. I don't understand that because I've got the sources from the CVS and I supose at least the image files should be uncorrupted versions. So, I've substituted that file by a copy of another one (btn_newform.ico) and then it workt! Well, at least the compiling process has continued until the end and the lazarus.exe was generated. That would not necessarily have to mean that the executable file was going to work fine. When I've tried to run it a lot of windows associated to hidden applications, or system tray app's have appeared on the screen. The lazarus itself was crazy, showing a lot of error messages on its console window and a lot of applications became unstable. The Lazaru's splash screen was showing border and the minimize, maximize and close button, but no contents. I hope I'm going to find out the problem and then I'll have it running on my system... if it's currently working fine on Win32 as long as it's correctly compiled. Is it? I mean, the current version from CVS should compile and work fine on Windows 98 environment? It seems to me that the generated version of Lazarus (which is 7Mb large) is not using GTK+, but it's already using the Win32 LCL. So, if I plan to join the team and help the development of Win32 LCL, what should I do for it? At which stage is the project now? How is the Lazarus project coordinated? Hope not being so annoying with such a lot of questions. :-) I have a good skill on Delphi programming and I would like to help making Lazarus work fine on Win32 soon. Luciano.
