I have checked out latest lazarus from SVN using TortoiseSVN. I have also downloaded FPC 2.2.2 installer and fpcbuild2.2.2.

What then now? I coudn't follow the instructions in http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarusi. The information for compiling under WinXP seems has outdated. Please somebody here tell me how to do that?

Huh ? Install fpc , make sure it can be called from shell. In shell (cmd.exe window) in lazarus sources folder do something like :

make clean
make all (or make bigide)

Make sure you have fpc sources somewhere on disk also.

What is fpcbuild ???

That page describes getting the source, which you did TortoiseSVN. It also contains a link at the bottom to instructions how to build it.

For you it would be:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#Installing_from_source_2

If you installed fpc 2.2.2 correctly, then open a command prompt, cd lazarus_svn_dir and then do: 'make bigide'.

The idle way is to install a nightly build
http://snapshots.lazarus.shikami.org/lazarus/
then SVN on top of your install directory (C:\lazarus ?) Run lazarus.exe then off the menu use Tools | Configure build Lazarus | Clean up and build all

Be sure that fpc path is before Borland one, otherwise make call will generate a lots of errors; if you have Delphi installed on the windows box, of course.

It's the official source-zip from which fpc-releases are build. They include the source but also the documentation sources and several utilities which aren't written in fpc but are installed by the fpc-installers. Plus things as the release-notes.

Joost.

A bit cleaner (IMHO) Install a snapshot, with the desired FPC version, copy the fpc to a separate location. (Update the fpc.cfg file in the bin directory, so it has the new path info)
- if you update fpc later, keep your fpc.cfg file

Now check out Lazarus from SVN, copy the existing lazarus.exe, into your checkout.
- Create a windows-shortcut, and edit the properties. Add a --primary-config-path (or -pcp) to the command line (so it doesn't interfere with any other install, it is much easier to create a new config once, than to sort the mess you get if 2 installations try to use the same config)
- Start this lazarus, edit the config to point to your fpc
- compile lazarus from the menu, and restart it

Whatever you do, make sure you have no spaces in the path.

Where can I find explanation about the difference among: "make clean", "make all", "make bigide", and other possible options?

you can't really. different software uses similar targets and they're all quite self-explanatory.

"make all" makes everything. "make clean" cleans object files. use your intuition and if you really want to know <health hazard> read the makefile </health hazard>. or just ask...

Thanks, I find the list of targets in Makefile.fpc but without detailed explanation.

Comparing 'bigide' with 'all' target, I notice the 'all' target has 'lazbuilder' which was not defined in 'bigide' target.

bigide: lcl packager/registration ideintf packager bigidecomponents idebig starter all: lcl packager/registration ideintf packager components ide starter lazbuilder

What is the meaning of 'lazbuilder'?

It's explained in some text files. The first to is common to many applications. For the option options have a look at:

<lazarus>
docs/BigIDE.txt
docs/INSTALL.txt

Or like Henry suggested, read the Makefile [yuck!]. Alternatively search the mailing list archives - it has been covered a few times before.
