I've checked out all the trunk src from svn

and I followed the instructions on
:http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Getting_Lazarus

I get lost on this step:

# From the C:\lazarus\tools\install\win32 directory copy the file 'samplefpc.cfg' to the C:\lazarus\pp\bin\i386-win32 directory and rename it to fpc.cfg (first delete/rename the old fpc version). # Edit this file and replace all occurencies of '$1' by 'C:\lazarus\pp'.

I can't find the samplefpc.cfg

sorry I'm new to open source project, i don't know how to build the src code into a solid executable file in this way.

usually I worked with Delphi project files

Hi,

Not a direct answer to your question, but if your main interest is to have the latest lazarus, you don't necessarily need fpc from svn. You could download and install a nightly build (Lazarus + FPC), *and* have an svn checkout of Lazarus. The svn Lazarus, can then use the fpc from the nightly build install.
If you choose an install with fpc 2.2.3, you will have to upgrade every couple of weeks, but that's just installing the new nightly build. If you copy the fpc directory, then you must edit the fpc.cfg (There will be an existing one)

Otherwhise I attached an fpc.cfg file (for version 2.2.0), it setuip for an install path of c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.2, but you can edit this.

regards
Martin

thanks so much for your response and cfg file!

You just read my mind, I'll try to use nightly build~

and I'll try to build the Lazarus later, for me this is really a challenge :)

Nowadays, usually the fpc.cfg is generated by the fpcmkcfg utility on windows. This utility is stributed with fpc.
