First problem: the edit box for the root directory shows strange behaviour. Inserting characters *into* text can make the cursor jump to the end of the text.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is a bug... in path can't be used spaces or special char and it doesn't reposition the cursor at the right place :)<br>

I'm missing an button for executing the Pre-Installation. "Start Necessaries Download" doesn't react, the "FirstInstall" button is far away.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If "One Click Installation" is selected, they aren't needed (and they are disabled). I updated the wiki.<br>

SVN is not found, even if TortoiseSVN\bin is in the path, and I don't remember SVM problems with fpcup.<br>
- what exactly should be in the path?<br>
- does it harm when another SVN is installed by the manager?<br>
- Clicking "Cancel" makes the program unresponsive, Windows kills it.<br>
- The same when clicking "OK". The last log entry is<br>
[10:47:25]: Start "gdb.exe" download.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>mmhh... it use generic svn command line program, so if you type "svn" in a new "command prompt" window it should work also on Lazarus Manager...<br>

fpcup had other problems, couldn't make it work either.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't know how fpcup works, but if both aren't working it should be a system problem... I don't know... I'll try with an other PC (win8.1 x64).<br>

Second try in WinXP-32 VM<br>
-------------------------<br>
SVN can be started in a console, seems to be installed already.<br>
Downloads seem to succeed.<br>
Error: Binutils directory is empty.<br>
Maybe .lzma and .tar are not supported? --> installed 7zip and zlib.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>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. Anyway Lazarus Manager will stay in standby until files aren't copied. This is a my log:<br>

Now a couple of consoles seem to checkout the repositories.<br>
All done - what now?<br>
<br>
Try close a console: "Windows cannot cannot close this program"<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, the procedure should follow a defined path. If there isn't binutils into the directory everything after the check doesn't work. Of course, there are controls about not proceeding if binutils aren't found, I don't know why in your system this doesn't work... strange.<br>

Try "Update", more consoles open *and* close (rapidly, empty?)!<br>
These seem to be the "make" consoles?<br>
Error: Failed to execute: 2.<br>
Huh? config: Drive=2 ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Update works only if first installation was ok, so something not defined is happened (and binutils are absolutely required).<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">

At least the log continues, starting make's<br>
*and* finally states "Update completed" :-)<br>
<br>
Ending the program - the consoles still are open. Kill them now brutally :-]</blockquote><div>[cut]<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
But where are the binaries? Looking at the log, the INSTALL_PREFIX directories do not exist :-(<br>
</blockquote><div> <br>This log is not so smart :-p<br>It
just writes what is processing and when it ends, but it doesn't tell
(yet?) if all is gone right. Anyway, if in Lazarus (branch/trunk) there
are exe files all is gone right :)</div><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">

What's wrong?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't really know... it seems like there is some interference with other installation/something else, but Lazarus Manager should not care...<br><br><br></div></div>
