No special characters, I only tried to insert 'LazMgr\' in front of the suggested directory. It may be a timing problem, the 'a' or 'z' caused the jump to the end of the text.<br><div class="im"></div>

So it seems to me that TortoiseSVN doesn't install the standard svn.exe. Dunno how they make "svn" known to their bash shell.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, if Lazarus Manager can't use svn nothing will work.<br>
<br>There aren't restriction on which svn client to use, it just need a fully working svn command line (command prompt). If no svn client if found (it check the existence of "svn" command on "system path" (I use this code: "FindDefaultExecutablePath('svn'): Boolean;") it will download and ask to install the client that has his url on first tab.<br>

I use Win8 (NOT 8.1!) only if necessary or simple, otherwise XP (VM) is more tansparent and usable for me. Had to disable automatic updates on Win8 a long time ago, because it broke several apps; this may be the reason why I couldn't (and don't want any more) to upgrade to 8.1. Never change a working Windows ;-)</blockquote>

Lazarus Manager can't manage lzma (or tar), I show a pop-up when required (and I add an advice on log) that this step should be done manually.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
*Manually* here means using some tool - which one? </blockquote><div><br></div><div>e.g. if installation root is C:\Develop\<br><br></div><div>Go to: C:\Develop\Tools\Downloads you will find "binutils-2.23.2-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma"<br>
</div><div>Right click on this file. then:<br><br>7-zip -> Open <br><br>Double click on binutils-2.23.2-1-mingw32-bin.tar -> mingw32 -> bin<br><br></div><div>Select all file and extract them on C:\Develop\fpc\Binutils<br>
<br></div><div>I don't remember for what, but zlib1.dll is needed also into C:\Develop\fpc\Binutils<br><br></div><div>Without "binutils" nothing will work.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Would it be simpler to disable "single click installation" in case of trouble, and proceed step by step? (should be documented as well)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually only "automatized" procedure is fully working (with the pre-requisites like svn working and binutils extracted).<br>
<br>"Generate Directory Structure" AND "Start Necessaries Download" are just the first step. Other "manual" steps are not implemented yet.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
When I found the target directories missing, I tried to repeat "FirstInstall" (no improvment). How do I a clean restart?</blockquote><div><br></div>Lazarus Manager is not working for you, because it doesn't recognize svn and you don't have extracted binutils.<br>
<br>Anyway, to restart, just delete the root installation directory you choose for Lazarus Manager (e.g. C:\Develop ).<br>If you have manipulated config.ini (it should not be done), you can overwrite with the original one in the zip of LazarusManager you downloaded.<br>

Can the "make" consoles be kept open in case of errors (ErrorLevel?), for inspection of eventual error messages? Then close after prompting the user...</blockquote><div><br></div><div>It closes when process is ended... I need to investigate how to let it open. <br>

Please clarify: is the "temporary" path (shown in the log) the full path used during the build process? Which other "standard" directories are involved?<br></blockquote><div><br></div>The path reported in the log is the path that Lazarus Manager use during its processes. I can't set system environment path ( <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/issues/pictures/winpath.jpg">http://www.computerhope.com/issues/pictures/winpath.jpg</a> ) from Lazarus Manager itself, so I ask to the users to do this themselves.<br>
It is necessary to Lazarus/FPC to work, but you can try without. I don't know if in Lazarus -> Tools -> IDE Option -> Paths, are enough to make Lazarus works well.<div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
How is the \pp directory involved? It was created by another Lazarus (older, stable) installation, obviously incompatible with the current/trunk projects.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>This is the "strange" part... teorically there are not interactions with Lazarus Manager processes... but what you reported has put me on alert.<br>
<br>For the moment, just resolve svn client and binutils "issues" on your system. Maybe this is enough to make Lazarus Manager to work. :)<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
A general note on FPC/Lazarus installation:<br>
I had several installations on my old (Win7) system, but don't remember how I made "make" work there, and which one was the most recent one. Is there something simpler than the BuildFAQ, telling how to make things work without killing other existing installations?<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div>Tecnically, with Lazarus Manager you can install as many times you want different and indipendent installations. At the moment, I have FIVE "roots" within any of them two Lazarus and two FPC installations (branch/trunk) and I have no problems:<br>
<br>C:\Develop\...<br>C:\Develop2\...<br>C:\Develop3\...<br>C:\Develop4\...<br>C:\Develop5\...<br><br>Of course is for test... but I have no problems. <br><br>I also just used Lazarus Manager on my Notebook (core i3 + 128Gb ssd) and in 15/20 min I had two working Lazarus (branch and trunk) with all cross-compiling feature installed.<br>
