Problem with Run any project lazarus / 9-Editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamad · 2011-01-22 07:47 Hi I am new to Lazarus IDE. I did want to try the compiler but whenever I run any project it is not working. I built very simple project with one command just to explore the IDE but it failed. I uploaded the picture of the problem here: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent Snijders · 2011-01-22 08:34 I removed the cross post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- theo · 2011-01-22 11:06 There is a newer version 0.9.28.2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamad · 2011-01-22 13:02 Quote from: theo on January 22, 2011, 12:06:08 pmThere is a newer version 0.9.28.2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/ I have already tried that release as well but fruitless I think there should be something wrong in the settings I hope some body will help me I have even tried it on another PC and got the same error ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin_fr · 2011-01-22 13:12 Your settings are somewhere in your user directory (at least for 0,9,28 upwards) Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\lazarus Then do a fresh install, preferable of the 0.9.29 fixes branch from the snapshot page.  Otherwise 0.9.28.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamad · 2011-01-22 14:19 Quote from: Martin_fr on January 22, 2011, 02:12:33 pmYour settings are somewhere in your user directory (at least for 0,9,28 upwards) Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\lazarus Then do a fresh install, preferable of the 0.9.29 fixes branch from the snapshot page.  Otherwise 0.9.28.2 I am using win xp and could not find any Both versions give the same error please see the attachments in the first post they give you the problem so you might have a clue to solve it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaazen · 2011-01-22 16:14 I don't understand why on image 2.bmp is error inside {$ifdef UNIX} directive, it should be ignored on Windows XP. What is your setting in menu Tools -> Configure Build Lazarus ? I mean LCL widget type, Target CPU and Target OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hamad · 2011-01-23 20:05 Quote from: Blaazen on January 22, 2011, 05:14:40 pmI don't understand why on image 2.bmp is error inside {$ifdef UNIX} directive, it should be ignored on Windows XP.

Yes you right. but if i change the settings another error pop up when i build my project another issue i noted is that the big size of the exported project so is there any way to minimize it I am really struggling with the ide I did not find any tut or so that explain to newbie how to set the compiler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaazen · 2011-01-24 13:07 QuoteYes you right. but if i change the settings another error pop up when i build my project What exactly? Is it error message or some warning? Quoteanother issue i noted is that the big size of the exported project so is there any way to minimize it So you can build your project to binary and you think it is too big? There are many threads about binary size. You can install and use program "strip" (from console) or you can do some settings in Lazarus directly. Just use "Search" function here on forum.
