Strange, I wanted to have another look at the site from where I downloaded the installer, but now I can no longer find it! My memory tells me it was using a layout with a sidebar with a "Downloads" link that brought me to a page on the same site where there was a list of downloadable exe files. And there was also a bit of text explaining which file to grab. I thought it was the Lazarus home site... The actual download link I used from that site was (after examining my download history, downloaded 2017-12-19): https://10gbps-io.dl.sourceforge.net/project/lazarus/Lazarus%20Windows%2064%20bits/Lazarus%201.8.0/lazarus-1.8.0-fpc-3.0.4-win64.exe Now whatever I try search-wise I always end up at SourceForge download page or other with no extra text as to which one to select. Can't fine the one I got it from. Have the lazarus sites been redesigned in the last week? In any case: ------------ The reason I selected the win64 file was that my earlier experience with installers like these was that if there were two to selct from (win32 or win64) it was in order to select which environment the program would run under (Windows 32 or 64 bit). In this case on my Windows 7 x64 laptop. But I am not used to select installer according to capabilities (except for licensed or unlicesnsed etc). So it never dawned on me that it would also only build 64 bit applications.... Now that I have the win64 version installed how do I go about making it possible to build for both 32 and 64 bit environments? In my Delphi XE5 environment I can do this easily in the project options where the target can be switched for each configuration. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
