Okay, after some work and a lot of help from fpcfan in #lazarus-ide, i got this to build (note that you need to add --ws=gtk2 or something like that to the lazbuild thing. also, some distros don't install a symlink for lazbuild, i found it in /usr/share/lazarus/). Running it, however, results in "Error reading sbGenInfo.ClientHeight?: Unknown property: "ClientHeight?""

okay, with all those ClientHeight? and ClientWidth? lines removed, the program launches, but then it soon crashes with "Access Violation", presumably because it has trouble getting new info from the daemon.

I am trying to build most current code but am getting :

Compiling resource win32wsextdlgs.rc C:\PROGRA~1\Util\lazarus\fpc\2.2.2\bin\i386-win32\windres.exe: no resources C:\PROGRA~1\Util\lazarus\lcl\interfaces\win32\win32wsextdlgs.pp(223,1) Error: Error while linking C:\PROGRA~1\Util\lazarus\lcl\interfaces\win32\win32wsextdlgs.pp(223,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

Note: Lazarus 0.9.27 daily build (not the 0.9.26 main release) is required. Download from http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ "Daily Snapshots"

Can somebody give more detailed instructions how to get final result (binary file) on linux, gtk+. Because if you follow the above instructions (1st post), you will get a binary file of size 21.5 Mb. Aftert altering project and compiler properties (don't generate debug info, optimization level 3, smart linking and so on) it's possible to downsize the file to 3.9 Mb, but it should be only 2.0 Mb, as in Download section. Thanks in advance.

I rebuild LCL with optimization and smartlinking enabled (-O2 -CX switches) The final executable is build with smartlinking as well (-CX -XX switches)

main.pas(791,39) Error: identifier idents no member "ControlByName?"

Current build doesn't compile with 0.9.29/2.3.1/Win Lazarus (2 fatal errors - ContolByName? and TImageIndex/Variant).
