I use INSTALL_PREFIX on LInux and it works every time.

Does the Tools |  Build IDE create a batch file that can be run step by step
to check the result?

Does it use some commands which may be duplicated by other programs on the
path?

Is there a way to check that?

Does the ..\fpc\2.4.0\bin\i386-win32 directory contain all the secondary
utilities required by Lazarus and FreePascal to work correctly?

To be frank (no pun intended) I think this approach of depending on the wiki
to build Lazarus is wrong. If the code for building the snapshots is
somewhere in the repository we should be able to look at it and adapt it.
After all it is tested everyday, can install into any location and works
correctly every time (not sure about this though ;) ).
