...as a last resort, i formatted an old disk, installed windows 8.1, installed
lazarus, downloaded a new snapshot from freepascal site, extracted and followed
instructions.
I get an error (i think in fpmkunit.pp) when i execute "make clean all".i tried
to execute "make install" but i get the same error

When you have downloaded fpc 2.7.1, go to the command-line and do 'make
clean all'. Make sure that the compiler-executable (ppc386.exe and
fpc.exe) are in your search-path. If you are on Windows this is not
always the case. (set path=%path%:c:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.4\bin\i386-win32)
Then you have to do a 'make install'. But to do so, you need
administrator-rights. So make sure that you use the right-mouse button
when you start your console (cmd or poweshell) and select 'run as
administrator'.
If you passed this step, you have fpc installed in c:\pp. Adapt the path
so that it points to this new location for the compiler-binaries. (Nore
that you still need a reference to the old lazarus-fpc-location, because
it also contains helper utilities like make.exe)
If you are editing the fpc.cfg file, search for the lines that start
with -Fu. Those need changing.
If you want to know where to place your fpc.cfg, use ppc386.exe -vt.
Then adapt the Lazarus configuration, and you should be done.
There are also scripts that do all this for you, btw.
Joost.
