Maybe I should be trying to solve this through the FPC resources but I thought I'd try here first as it is sort of an issue with the Lazarus package for windoze.
I have a winXP SP2 desktop that I installed the latest "stable" Lazarus / FPC package on (Lazarus-0.9.24-fpc-2.2.0-20071114-win32.exe). I had a previous version of FPC & Lazarus, which I uninstalled first. Installing this package Lazarus starts up fine but if I try to compile my personal code library it reports FPC aborted. When I attempt to compile from the command line I get a "segfault" message on the first file. I then installed the "official" FPC package from the FreePascal repository (fpc-2.2.0.i386-win32.exe) into the c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.0 directory hoping to simply replace the version bundled with Lazarus. Now I can build my personal code library without a problem. However Lazarus won't start it says, "Error reading Image.Picture.Data: invalid color in xpm at line 397 column 110." But I tried to "make" in the c:\lazarus directory, thinking that Lazarus may need to be rebuilt with the "new" FPC, but FPC segfaults a couple of files into the process. Lazarus 0.9.24 and FPC 2.2.0 for Linux runs just fine and has no problems building my code library. Neither does Delphi or Kylix have any trouble compiling the source. I'll be testing the Mac OS X version shortly, assuming it doesn't require too much to get it installed. Is there some special setting that needs to be made to get FPC to actually compile on windoze? How do I go about fixing this "image" error if I need to replace FPC? I hate windoze. :-( But its a necessary evil. THX - Jon -- Jon Foster JF Possibilities, Inc.
