Yes I Try it.

Translation of Spanish to English

Dialog box say..

Prompt for beginners

The current path of unit to the file "G:\Lazarus\Projects\Main.pas" is
"".

The Path of units LCL "G:\Lazarus\lcl\Units\$(Target)....." not found

Thanks in advance.

Do this from menu:

Project -> Compiler Options

In dialog set path in "Other Unit Files" to "G:\Lazarus\Projects".

Press OK and try to compile now.

I DL the windows binaries and installed them onto my winxp
machine...fired up

Lazarus ver#: 0.9.20 beta
Date: 11/5/2006
SVN Revision: 10176

similar situation attempting to convert a simple hello world delphi
unit made in delphi 2005 to lazarus unit using the convert tool

I get a LCL unit path missing message:

The current unit path for the file
"C:\Work\project\Copy of hello world\colorUnit.pas" is "".

The path to the LCL units
"c:\lazarus\lcl\units\$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)" is missing.

Hint for newbies: * can't read what it says since the skip button &
abort button cover this up*

Tried the above compiler option posted above

In dialog set path in "Other Unit Files" to "C:\Work\project\Copy of
hello world".

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I tried to convert a Delphi7 program to Lazarus 0.9.20/WinXP with the
convert tool in IDE. After correcting some differences between DP and
Lazarus in the codes, I run it but it gave always error "External:
SIGSEGV". I didn't know any solution.
I decided to start new project and redesign all forms in Lazarus, then
copy the DP7-codes into Lazarus-units, change some codes. It works OK
! Ofcourse I missed some features of DP7 in Lazarus. I hope Lazarus
getting better in future.

thanx bmt for your reply

I just wanted to test a simple hello world program that I created in
Delphi 2005.  I was curious on how Lazarus would handle a simple
program conversion before I attempted to convert my much larger
application to Lazarus :shock:

I think the problem might be with the spaces in your path ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

i read some where in that spaces in paths are no longer an issue...for
the life of me i can't find that information again

seach feature :evil:

any more suggestions?

It's not the spaces.

I'm trying to convert the TDBf demo program from Delphi and am getting
a similar error on Ubuntu (8.10).

Code: [Select]The current unit path for the file:
"/home/dave/Projects/demo/Calc.pas" is
"".

The path to LCL Units
"/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/units$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)" is missing.

Hint for newbies:
Create a Lazarus application and put the file into the project
directory

Just follow the hint, it often worked for me.
