Sounds like you installed the compiler part, but not the fpc sources.

I installed FPC on Win XP-Pro from the 2.4.2 installer.
Then I retrieved the lazarus sources from SVN.
Then I did make clean all for lazarus.
All this worked OK.
But now when I start lazarus it complains about missing fpc sources
and it looks like the fpc 2.4.2 does indeed *not* deposit any source
files...
At least I cannot find any in the dir I installed FPC into. All
subfolders there are:
bin
demo
doc
examples
msg
units (which does not contain the sources)
So no source folder. :-(
What can I do now?
I don't know whether this is any help and it is oriented towards Linux,
but I'd add that I normally build FPC from source, in part because doing
so is a good test that the compiler is working on the machine in
question. Having done so I do a make install and check that the
symlink in /usr/local/bin is OK, then make clean and copy the fpcsrc
directory into the appropriate place in /usr/local/lib (I'm being
intentionally vague here since this will vary depending on version number).
Having done that, one is left with a consistent tree of binaries and
source. Start Lazarus with the --pcp= option so that the IDE you're
running uses a private configuration file that specifies how it can find
the matching compiler.
I have just downloaded the 2.4.2 source zipfile and now I have the
problem of extracting it to the right location...
My FPC install dir is C:\Programs\fpc\2.4.2\
Where should I put the sources?
In a subdir to this named source?
The zipfile expands to a top folder named fpc-2.4.2, which obviously
is not my install folder name....
And inside there are no subdirs named source or anything like that.
Advice please?
The top folder (fpc-2.4.2) should contain directories like "compiler",
"rtl", "packages", etc. The best place would be to put those into your
"C:\Programs\fpc\2.4.2" directory and point Lazarus' FPC dir setting to
that directory (then everything is where it belongs ^^).
Another possibility (your choice) is to put all those directories into a
"source" directory in "C:\Programs\fpc\2.4.2" and point Lazarus to that.
You are pretty free here, but Lazarus checks that "rtl" and "packages"
directories exist in the set source directory.

Sven
