The sources were incomplete for one simple reason: I've used Lazarus on Linux, and for now I haven't internet at home. So, I've took the install kit for Lazarus and for FPC by mem stick. I've install FPC, secondly Lazarus. No magic until there. But after that all time I've work with at the restart it gives that error. I've understand that was a problem to not be there, but was somehow annoying. Next day I've took the sources only to skip that dialog ;) because I've know Object Pascal from heart, that message wasn't a must for me. Anyway, right now is fixed :) .
But until that, if one user does not know how to setup the path to the FPCSRC folder, and uses for instance Linux for one of the very first times, it should get a solution to solve it or to not buggy him in such a messagebox faulting. http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/windows-alert.html Better may be a less intrusive way to say to him (a notification!? in the message list window) or a directly way to solve: add a button that say: Solve... or something like that, and when you click it, it gets a directory chooser to say where is FPCSRC folder. -----Original Message----- From: Mattias Gaertner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: S 27.10.2007 16:13 To: lazarus@miraclec.com Subject: Re: [lazarus] Usability issues - Warning about missing FPC sources On Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:42:35 +0300 "Ciprian Mustiata" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Lazarus team, > > I've start Lazarus and I've face multiple usability issues: It's better to put only one topic per mail. > - when it start it say that I have no FPC Sources (I've setup them) > but sometimes it happened to have around the sources.

Can you tell, why your FPC sources are incomplete or missing?
