[SOLVED] Problems compiling Lazarus on win64
lazarus / 64-FPC development

Hi everyone. So I'm trying to compile the development branch of
Lazarus with the development branch of FPC on win64, but I don't get
very far:

(1002) Target OS: Win64 for x64
(3104) Compiling fcllaz.pas
(10001) PPU Loading P:\pp\\units\x86_64-win64\rtl-objpas\variants.ppu
(10011) PPU Source: variants.pp not available
(10028) Recompiling variants, checksum changed for
P:\pp\\units\x86_64-win64\rtl\math.ppu {impl}
P:\pp\\units\x86_64-win64\rtl-objpas\variants.ppu:variants.pp(11,71)
Fatal: (10022) Can't find unit variants used by db
Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted

I'm able to compile FPC without any problems, and I can build Lazarus
with FPC 3.0.2 and its files, but as soon as I try to compile it using
the newly-compiled FPC 3.1.4, along with all of its installed files,
it can't find the variants unit.  I'm guessing some things have been
moved around, and I need to change a directory reference somewhere -
any advice?

(The same problem occurs whether I use "make all" on the command line,
or try to build Lazarus within Lazarus itself)

Do "make clean all" or check the "Clean all" checkbox in the Configure
"Build Lazarus" window.

So simple! That worked, thanks.  I was only using "Clean Common
Files".
