In the case of FPC on windows, best to install the last release (2.4.0/win32), take a copy of that dir, and copy the handcompiled snapshot over it. On *nix you don't need the release so much, and a proper starting compiler is enough to bootstrap afaik everything from SVN. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
