Having downloaded latest sources from cvs and done a make, everything goes fine but as I start Lazarus I'm told that it cannot find FPC Source Dir. And I have to set it... Fine, only lazarus crashes after I've clicked ok to this message.

There should only be an "Ignore" button, no "Ok" button. And I don't think that this message has anything to do with the crash. To fix this, I need some information:
Compiler version (ppc386 -vi) and backtrace of the crash. Please start lazarus in gdb:

[]$ gdb lazarus
(gdb) run

When it stops type 'bt' for backtrace:

(gdb) bt

and send the backtrace to me or the list.

Is there a way to create the config file manually ? if so how ?

If the default values results in a crash, then special values will also.

And for the GDB where do I find that for windows ?

Sorry.
Lazarus does not yet work under windows. Only half of the components of the LCL work with the win32 api, which is too less for the IDE. Any helping hand is welcome.
Maybe some win32 user can give some advice about debugging tools for win32. I can write hints about cross compiling from linux to win32.

I think, we should add this somewhere to the website. Michael (H), where do you think is a good place?

What exactly do you have in mind? What all do you want to add?

A page about the win32 development.
- state:
some notes, that the win32 api interface is not yet ready, that already half of the LCL works, that the IDE does not yet work under win32.
- what needs to be done: A note, that the exact component state can be found in "roadmap".
(We have to fill this list)
- how to help us:
+ Where to get and how to install the debugging tools for windows (cvs, gdb, diff).
+ Cross compile from linux to windows:
This gives you an IDE with codetools, form editing, and eventually remote debugging.
+ Examples: how to fix bugs and create a patch under linux and under windows
+ Where to start and what depends on what: Components, synedit, parts of the IDE: options, sourceeditor, codetools, debugging, form editing, packages.
