I noticed that the Make path was empty, and after comparing to the other
installations it seems that the ..\fpc\bin\i386-32 did not contain the full
set of files. There were only 48 files the compared with the 70 or so in the
others, and make was one of the missing ones. The package recompile was
using the wrong set of utilities. The problem may have been in the FPC
compilation. So back to the drawing board on that.
Did you do each step this tutorial?
Try do not change anything. Just follow the tuturial.
The binaries in ..\fpc\bin\i386-32 are made by Make. If you do not
compile FPC with success some files may not have been generated.
I've just completed a build of 2.4.4 on W2K, and after completion
found that the binaries directory didn't include make etc. so I added
a directory from the source tree to my path.
The tools (make, etc) are here:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/branches/fixes_2_4/install/binw32
See the tutorial:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#STEP_.231:_Create_directories_and_get_the_sources
I also noticed that "make install" had failed (silently) to build an fpc.cfg,
presumably because it couldn't find gcc.
If you didn't download the binutils (fpcbuild) you do not have make
tool (for Windows).
I also noticed that the fpc.cfg that the 2.4.2 binary installer created had an
explicit reference to 2.4.2, rather than using $fpcversion.
To create fpc.cfg, use fpcmkcfg tool. But I also do not use .
See the tutorial:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#STEP_.234:_Create_fpc.cfg_file
No doubt. But Windows is not one of my major platforms, and the build
from 2.4.4 (as distinct from fixes_2_4) appears to be incomplete when
compared with the build from 2.4.2.
