Felipe,

Thank you for your help!:)

I am certain I was adviced by someone here not to use the add-on installer 
and wait for  v0.926. Anyhow, I am glad it is working now. :)

I  have used Lazarus to compile simple tesp projects before. What I meant is
this: there is a group of  combos with 7 choices on the Advanced
Build Options tab (LCL, SynEdit ...). I wanted to know if there was anything
above LCL which needs to be rebuilt after an SVN update in order to
crosscompile for arm-wince?

Probably was not precise enough again. :) As far as I understand there are 3 
active branches of FPC:
- 2.2.2
- 2.2.3 (fixes)
- 2.3.x

Out of these three?

Thank you, will do. :)
