[Lazarus] How to build FPC/Lazarus from sources on Windows?

[Alfred]

Fpcupdeluxe tries to install an isolated version of FPC and Lazarus.
And can help you in installing cross-compilers for this isolated 
version.

Sequence:
First, install a suitable FPC (and Lazarus) version with fpcupdeluxe in 
a directory of choice.
(in you case FPC fixes 3.2 (and Lazarus fixes 2.0 or trunk))

After this process has finished, you can install a cross-compiler.
Choose a CPU and OS and click install cross-compiler.
In most cases, this process will fail due to missing libs and bins.
Allow fpcupdeluxe to download the libs and bins and continue with the 
process.
The second run should end with a successful build of the cross-compiler.

Keep in mind: many things can go wrong during the process.
The output should give you more clues in case of errors.
If so, you can report them in the forum.
