[lazarus] Need help getting started w/Lazarus Win32

[Ken VanEseltine]

What are all the steps to installing Lazarus under Windows 2000?

My basic problem is that when I Build the default project that comes up, I
get a compiler message
  Can't compile unit COMCTRLS, no sources available

I'm new to the mailing list.  I'd been a TP6 and TPW user back when those
were current commercial products,  I thought I'd get back into some Pascal
Programming and Lazarus sure looks neat.  But mostly what I've found is a
lot of frustration.

What I've done is the following:

1.  Download and install Free Pascal into C:\pp

2.  Download and install Lazarus into C:\Lazarus

3.  Attempt to set Units search paths correctly (setting up the compiler
path is easy, but I find no documentation on what to do with the units
directories).

4.  Try to Build the default project that comes up.

To see what's going on, I've run the command from a command prompt:
cd C:\lazarus\bin\win32
c:\pp\bin\win32\ppc386.exe  -Rintel -TWin32 -S2cgi -Ch8000000 -Og1p1 -gl -XD
 -vewnhia -l -FuC:\lazarus\units\win32 -FuC:\lazsrc\lcl -FuC:\lazsrc\lcl\int
erfaces\win32
-FuC:\lazsrc\lcl -FiC:\lazsrc\lcl\include -oc:/temp\project1.exe
c:/temp\project1.lpr

I get many lines of output and then ...

A search for viewcol*.* finds no files on my system.

5.  Renamed C:\Lazarus to get it out of the way and downloaded the source
for Lazarus into C:\Lazarus

6.  I've run the following from a command prompt:

cd C:\lazarous
make

I get many lines of output and then ...

This is very confusing.  LCLLINUX?

I definitely need help!

Thanks.
