Hallo,
I have a problem I can't understand: I did an update of Lazarus yesterday and recompiled it. Now when I start Lazarus from the command prompt, it works fine, but if I start Lazarus from the shortcut I have for it, or from Windows Explorer, it is giving problems. It almost looks like it has something wrong in the directory it uses.
When I start Lazarus I first get a message that says my free pascal source directory is not set up. It is set up and works fine if I start from command prompt. So I ignore it.
Then I get an error saying: The current Lazarus directory "C:\mysvn\lazarus\lazarus.exe\" does not look correct. Indeed, it is not correct! Where does this directory come from? So I ignore that as well.
Then I get an error saying that Lazarus is "Unable to create file "C:\mysvn\lazarus\lazarus.exe\compilertest.pas". If I choose ok to go on anyways lazarus crashes.
It appears there is some difference between starting from explorer and starting from the command prompt that gives a problem only since the last svn update.
Regards,
Charl
