Building Lazarus from source in windows 7

[chronozphere]

Ok, after some messing about, phibermon suggested that I should just grab the latest snapshot and install that.

Seems like I was lagging behind with my 0.9.28.2 beta install. Now I do have 0.9.29 with FPC 2.4.3

It might be beneficial to have a setup that allows me to compile everything from source. Is it worthwhile to set that up, just to be able to get the last version quickly?

I haven't really updated Lazarus more than once every 2 months or so from the daily snapshot with latest compiler. It doesn't get big changes often.

As far as I know, make.exe is shipped with the fpc binary package, so you don't need to download it from elsewhere. Usually I do something like:

set path=c:\fpc\bin\i386-win32;%PATH%

cd c:\lazarus

make clean all

That's all
