Hi,

I updated lazarus today from SVN (32113), and recompiled.

When I start it, it just hangs with some empty windows on the screen. I must kill the process.

This is on the terminal:

fsb: >./lazarus
TMainIDE.ParseCmdLineOptions:
PrimaryConfigPath="/home/michael/.lazarus"
SecondaryConfigPath="/etc/lazarus"
TIDEWindowCreatorList.GetForm no creator for ActionListEditor TMainIDE.DoNewProject A
Killed

If I move the config path and start it, I first get the configuration dialog, then a 'progress' form, and again it hangs.

on the terminal, I get:
NOTE: help options config file not found - using defaults TMainIDE.DoNewProject A

Which leads me to believe there is an error in the IDE itself

That just killed my production environment :-)

Maybe it is not a bad idea to save the current .exe on rebuild by default ?

My build script does it.

It should be trivial to return to production with something like:

svn up -r 32000
make clean
make bigide

I know all that - thank you - but wanted to report that there is something fishy in the latest SVN.

Glad to hear this, but I think most users (as indeed I am) are in the habit of doing a 'Build Lazarus' from the tools menu :)

If that fails, then I usually go to the command-line and start tinkering with "find" and whatnot to clean up my installation. But then it is too late, the executable is gone...

PS. That said, I'd love to see your script. Is it in SVN ?

Forgot to add that revision 32100 still works.
Looking at the changes, it looks like the codetools are to blame.

No. The script is simple:

C:\programming\fpc\bin\i386-win32\make.exe bigideclean bigide OPT="-Criot -gt -gh -gw -godwarfsets -dUseVistaDialogs" if errorlevel 2 goto finish
del lazarus.win32.exe
ren lazarus.exe lazarus.win32.exe
:finish

Btw, try to update svn and build again. I found one typo which could cause an endless loop while unit loading.

Yes, this I could have written myself (in bash, of course) :)

It's indeed fixed, thank you very much !

When rebuilding Lazarus from the menu,
old version gets saved as "lazarus.old.exe" (on Windows at least).
