It looks like there's a bug in the windres or the make/makefile under win32 Just follow these steps, and you will compile lazarus

windres -i lazarus.rc -o lazarus.res
make

remenber to use a fpc snapshot (1.08)

Hello,

I'm a newbie on programming and pascal. Got Free Pascal installed and have been hurdling to get lazarus on my sistem (win98 2nd edition). I got the source. And issued "make" on the lazarus directory. The environmental varible PATH is properly set.
the compiler works (it issues it's work messages on screen). This is where I got stuck. Here's the part of the message I guess (stress guess) is relevant for this:
"
windres: no resources
MAKE.EXE[1]: *** [lazarus.res] Error 1
MAKE.EXE[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/lazarus'
C:\PP\BIN\WIN32\MAKE.EXE: *** [ide] Error 2
"
Hope you can give me some pointers on how to get lazarus running.

Best,
Mig

Lazarus is not yet stable in Windows. Try Linux instead, it works wonderfully in there.
