I think I know what the problem is, I also wondered what would be the best solution for this and found nothing. The problem is the "build lazarus" from within Lazarus is using a somehow different way to buil it. From the console output it looks like "build lazarus" is *somehow* making use of the same makefiles too but it is producing a different result when running the same make target from the console. I think with "build two times" when doing a fresh install (or after fixing a broken unrunnable lazarus) he refers to: svn checkout .... (or svn up -r <known_working> or otherwise fix broken things) make clean all <--- this is the first time and then from the menu ./lazarus Tools -> build lazarus <-- this is the second time. There should be a make target that does exactly the same as the menu item "build lazarus", somehow the highly obscure make-voodoo that is performed in the "build lazarus" menu command should also be accessible from the console without having any working Lazarus binary. I once tried to reverse-engineer what exactly is going on and how and why calling the *same* make target would produce different outcomes when called from within the IDE and the command line but eventually I gave up. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
