[lazarus] error by compiling syslinux

[dvortex]

the python tool? nop...
(where is it ?)

Lazarus won't compile 
(or to be more precise, mwedit won't compile because it can't find some
.inc file. probably some broken path on my machine)

I'd like to test that tool of yours, can you send it to me ?
