Why Lazarus is rebuilding project each time i run?

I will do my best to help if you still need it.

Although I've never understood why so many people have issues with Lazarus, for at least 2 years on multiple machines and multiple platforms fresh installs from the daily SVN snapshots have always worked for me first time. The occasional crash whilst debugging in the early days but no show stoppers.

Just tell it where FPC is, the sources and GDB and it's all hunky dory.

This is all on fresh installs of various Oses and on machines that have been used for years with many installs of lazarus, custom FPC setups etc

I'd love to know what people are doing their machines / installs that causes it to break so utterly. Try a snapshot. Uninstall Lazarus and any FPC you might of installed. Clear any environment variables that may be setting FPC paths etc

Edit : I've not tried the specifc builds you're referring to. Just ignore me. I've not personally had issues with Lazarus.

Also loving generics support in FPC, I'd use them extensively if it wasn't for the fact I've a vast code base with a consistent coding style that already has the things generics make easier, defined. Might go thru my code and replace all the stuff that's applicable with generics one of the days, assuming it doesn't obfuscate things too much.
