I get the following error message and compilation fails when I try to build a
new project:
"The system.ppu was not found in the FPC directories. Make sure fpc is installed
correctly and the fpc.cfg points to the right directory."
There is a wince-arm system.ppu on my setup at:
C:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3\units\arm-wince\rtl\system.ppu
And the only fpc.cfg is the vanilla one installed from the snapshot at:
C:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3\bin\i386-win32\fpc.cfg
I don't know how to proceed from here? Is WinCE 2.2.3 known to be broken at the
moment? I did try with the 2.3.1 snapshots last week and I couldn't get those
to work either.
have you had a look at the paths inside the fpc.cfg? do they point at the right units? for example, my fpc.cfg contains this:
# searchpath for units and other system dependent things -FuC:\FPC\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/
-FuC:\FPC\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/*
-FuC:\FPC\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/rtl
you should have something similar.

Hello,
I don't know how to proceed from here? Is WinCE 2.2.3 known to be broken at the
moment? I did try with the 2.3.1 snapshots last week and I couldn't get those
to work either.
I can confirm fpc 2.3.1 for arm-wince is broken, see http://www.hu.freepascal.org/fpcircbot/cgipastebin?msgid=4740
Feel free to create a fpc bug report about it.

Hello,
I was hoping to see how the LCL WinCE was progressing as I have not been able to
look at it for six months or so. I use Lazarus for Windows from SVN routinely
but I have always found building the WinCE cross-compiler and library much
harder. So that I don't disturb my normal working environment I decided to
install a test setup in a VirtualBox from snapshots so I downloaded and
installed today's Lazarus snapshots for FPC 2.2.3:
Lazarus-0.9.27-17734-fpc-2.2.3-20081209-win32.exe
Lazarus-0.9.27-17734-fpc-2.2.3-20081209-cross-arm-wince-win32.exe
A new Win32/i386 application compiles and runs without issue. However when I
change the compiler settings to:
LCL Widget Type - wince (beta)
Target OS - WinCE
Target CPU family - arm
I get the following error message and compilation fails when I try to build a
new project:
"The system.ppu was not found in the FPC directories. Make sure fpc is installed
correctly and the fpc.cfg points to the right directory."
AFAIK, this is not a compiler message, but a message from the IDE.
What is the compiler path setting in the environment options?

Go to the environment options dialog and check if the compiler is the right one.
I think that Lazarus comes preconfigured to use ppcx86.exe but it should actually use fpc.exe which will choose the correct compiler.
Don't change anything in your fpc.cfg file.

Thanks Henry,
My search paths match yours:
# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-Fuc:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/
-Fuc:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/*
-Fuc:\Lazarus\fpc\2.2.3/units/$FPCTARGET/rtl
The fpc.cfg is the default one installed by the snapshot. I have also searched
the system for any other fpc.cfg files that might have got in the way.
o.k. have you changed the compiler path to be used (in environment options)? you have to choose the ppcrossarm.exe.

2008/12/9 :
Thanks Felipe That's exactly what it is. Is there a reason why fpc.exe can't be the default for snapshots?
AFAIK, it is the default.
