I am getting a whole load of errors when I try to recompile it. **** 1887
error during make ****.

If it is a worthwhile hint, the Help About dialog does not show the SVN
version, unless it is because I deleted the .svn folders to make it a
smaller download


In relation to the inadequate information on the wiki, the source code for
building the Lazarus snapshots must be out there somewhere.

Is it available in Lazarus repository? That will be a whole lot better than
the trial and error process Lazarus users go through every day.
