thanx so much for the hint, I've read the doc/install document again.

but unfortunately I can not compile 0829,0830,0831 version of snapshot,

in 0830,0831 I get "Identifier not found ExtractShortPathName"

in 0829 I get some undefined variable info

I use fpc 2.2.2

Strange, ExtractShortPath is part of fpc 2.2.2. Are you sure you are not using fpc 2.2.0, which does not have ExtractShortPathName?

Thanks so much for the information, I indeed installed fpc2.2.0 instead of 2.2.2 because the port version is 2.2.0

Finally I successfully installed lazarus on freebsd!

this is the first time I managed to install application on bsd system

but... I still get a question. when I use the Tools -> "Build Lazarus" menu command from the Ide

I get an error "make: illegal option -- w "

thanks again!

What shows Environment / Environment Options .. / Files / Make path?

there is blank, I never changed this place~, so by default it's blank

Should I specified the filename there ?

finally I made it work! it should be gmake not make in the make path, just like before. I've successfully installed LNet component and started my first unix server application. so much thanks for your time and patience to walk me through.
