[Lazarus] unable to rebuild lazarus

[Martin Friebe]

Hi Bob,

I understand this as follows:
- Lazarus compiles, and a new exe is generated.
- the exe can be started from windows explorer, and works
   if your exe doesn't start from the win explorer neither, the below 
dbg questions are irrelevant.
- the exe does *not* open in a shell => it's linked as a win32-gui-app 
(compiler-options/linking)

1) What is the "debugger optins" (environment menu) setup on your lazarus?
 type should be "Gnu debugger", no ssh
 path must point to a valid gdb.exe

2) What version of GDB?

3) If you open "view menu"/"debug windows"/"debug output" can you copy 
the content ?


Best Regards
Martin
