[Lazarus] Fwd: newbie

[duilio foschi]

the compiler says "Can't find unit ComponentTreeView used by ObjectInspector".

This message in plain English language seems clear to me, also because
I am accustomed to it (I have been working with Delphi since v. 1).

Nothing of that.

The compiler wants to mean "I found unit ComponentTreeView and want to
compile it again but I should not".

As in the old joke, this clearly shows that Lazarus is female :)

I hope you are wrong, because I wont work with a tool that gives so
misleading messages.

Anyway your suggestions didnt work ... or I didnt apply them in the correct way.

This is what I did

1. added switch -vut to CONFIGURE BUILD LAZARUS
http://it.tinypic.com/r/f24u83/5

2. opened the package I am interested in
http://it.tinypic.com/r/rc8tok/5

3. compiled the package
http://it.tinypic.com/r/s2fd3s/5

4. tried to install it...
http://it.tinypic.com/r/2a7bpg9/5
http://it.tinypic.com/r/qqx17l/5

5. after a few minutes, I see the same error message as before
http://it.tinypic.com/r/2il24ur/5


I hope that Lazarus _really_ cant find unit ComponentTreeView and that
there is a way to tell Lazarus where to search for it... :)

Thank you

Peppe
