Hi Marc,
I saw that, but thanks.


Well..
To not have problems to compile FPC and Lazarus on Windows, but
continue using SVN for the updates, I received a tip:

- Download a snapshot from ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/
- Install e.g. c:\lazarus (we would have FPC and Lazarus)
- Get sources at SVN and save e.g. c:\lazarus.svn
- Replace all folders from c:\lazarus.svn to c:\lazarus
- In the Lazarus: Tools -> Configure Build Lazarus -> CleanUp + Build All

This is the best choice for the Windows?
I can do this with FPC too?
