... is that due to inactivity?

Three days! Three full days! The world is sinking, heavens are falling
upon our heads! First rumors are spreading that Lazarus is inactive
and dead! Quick, run and get Turbo Delphi, because all your Lazarus
installations will destroy themselves within the next 24 hours!

Sorry, couldn't resist

I am at the start of a coversion of what is at the moment about 1/2
million lines of C code developed over about 12 years. (Hotel property
management and reservation system) I need to install attrstringgrid
(or something like it) to do this right. Problem is, it will install
in lazarus for windows but not for linux - same versions. (Which is
why I was asking the question. It appears that at the moment the two
platforms are out of sync)

I really need to try to see if the latest svn does any better than
0909. I doubt it does. I think it is broken - which is to be expected
for beta software. (It is good ... just broken at the moment).

I have UI's built using glade and can proceed with Anjuta. Given the
opportunity, I would rather use lazarus. I have completed an interface
to Unify that is working - mostly. But I have to decide, there is a
great deal to do and I - sadly - dont have much time.

Lazarus will mature - my issue is at what point will I be able to use
it. The developers shouldnt read anything into any of this. It is
probably just bad timing - and that assumes it doesnt work out. I
think it may. What I am trying to avoid at this moment is not
producing cobbled code. Six months from now, I am certain I wouldnt
have this problem. As I said, I think it may  just be 'bad' timing.

I certainly dont expect nor would I recommend the developers do
anything differently. They need to do the right thing for their code.
I'll figure something out.

Thanks

Well, I experienced a few delays in "daily" builds as well, also when
I thought I needed them instantly.

You can always get the SVN directly instead of through a daily  Just
install subversion and give it a try (though I would guess the reason
that there are no dailies could be that subversion is currently
broken).
I did so myself when I had trouble with compiling for Windows CE. I
suggest you try this out in a different folder than the main one
though (contrary to Delphi, you can have multiple copies of Lazarus on
your harddisk  ).

Quote from: "JimBodkins"... is that due to inactivity?

Thanks for question the question. After having several days of
succesfull nightly build, I stopped checking each day.  :oops:

I took a quick glance at the build log and it seems to be caused by an
error in the build script after the additional of the command line
builder called "lazbuild".

Tonight I will try to fix the script and hopefully tomorrow there will
be a new build.

I think I fixed the error in the build process in revision 9864. This
evening I will test it, when I start the build script at home.
