Well, I opened the configure options dialog of course, and I checked first LCL clean + build, IDE and IDE Interface as I read into the faq: "How can I compile a program for Gtk2?" I know this is to compile software under Gtk2 but I read also: "to start with recompile LCL for Gtk2. Go to the menu "Tools"->"Configure Build Lazarus" and set LCL to clean+build and everything else to none." So, I checked also the other two flag about the IDE but maybe I messed something, such as Codetools or so. Then I remembered I read on this ML something about to give an option about LCL_PLATFORM, I tried to make clean all Lazarus and it was successful. Where did you found help? > What help was misleading you? Well, finding help is not always easy. So often I search for help into lazarus wiki, faq, ML ecc.. Maybe the faq misleading me. I'm a Delphi 3-7 user which I'm trying to move to opensource and cross platform software such as fpc and lazarus which I like it so much but often it is not easy ;-). I keep strong and go on because both are great development environments. Thanks.
