That is correct, it starts up fine, I can use the pull down menus.. but it gives me the error as soon as I try to compile anything.
What is the proper way to recompile the IDE? I didn't compile it to start off with, I used FPCupDeluxe from https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/tag/1.6.2x to compile the x86_64-Win64 package I don't know what a win64 GDB is either. Can you point me in the right direction?

Did you ever try to debug a program on Win64? Now is the time to try: you will need a win64 GDB and recompile the IDE using -gw option. The important GDB option here is set win32 new-console on This will create a new Console when you start the IDE. As it seems that the IDE generated an access-violation, you should directly see that in the GDB console and be able to get a back-trace (udsing GDB 'bt' command) which would help to understand where the problem is coming from.
