With today windows snapshot
(Lazarus-0.9.25-fpc-2.2.1-20080423-win32.exe) freshly installed (after uninstalling the previous one and renaming the remaining directory), trying to add a package (lazdaemon, but I suppose it doesn't matter), I have this problem rebuilding the ide. The usual causes (using a different fpc or a different/global fpc.cfg) don't seem to apply here.

C:\lazarus\components\daemon\reglazdaemon.pp(55,31) Hint: Parameter "AProject" not used
"Compiling package lazdaemon 0.9.9" completed
Recompiling InterfaceBase, checksum changed for Classes c:\lazarus\ide\lazarus.pp(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit InterfaceBase used by Interfaces

FWIW, a "make fpc_baseinfo" in any directory under lcl\interfaces thinks that the FPCDIR is c:/pp
Manually setting the environment variable FPCDIR to c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.1 I can compile the ide on the commandline (though a "make idepkg" won't rename lazarus.new.exe to lazarus.exe).
If I compile the ide inside lazarus, I get an empty error (I suppose) dialog from startlazarus instead of restarting the ide (I think because it couldn't rename lazarus.new.exe, in fact when restarting it manually I have the old ide, without the newly installed packages).

Check your environemental options to see which fpc you use.

Also try to rebuild LCL.

If you update frequently, it may be more convenient to use subversion.

Just install 1 snapshot as usual, just so that you have the adequate FPC, and then use tortoisesvn to get the latest Lazarus. You can even remove everything except the mingw and the fpc dirs inside the snapshot.

Then you can put a batch script in your lazarus this, like this one, to build your Lazarus:

PATH=C:\Programas\lazarus22\fpc\2.2.1\bin\i386-win32 make OPT="-dWindowsUnicodeSupport"
pause

To update you just do svn update in tortoisesvn and then run the batch again.

That's the first thing I did, fpc is the one that came with the snapshot (c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.1\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe)

Did that too. I think the problem is in the makefiles

With today (20080424) snapshot everything seems ok.

That's what I do under linux, under windows I don't update that frequently, I just wanted to see if a recent snapshot, with a couple of fixes in fpc I need, was working ok, so I can give it to my customer along with the sources of my project.
