Hello,

I'm new to this list and my interests are in Lazarus under
OS/2 and Linux and therefore by inference fpc.

I tried to compile Lazarus with the last official fpc release,
os2200 a couple of days ago, but that was too old.

So, thanks for this rc which I have downloaded and built
under OS/2. I'm still feeling my way around so I'm not sure
that everything compiled that could be expected, but the
compiler and many executables are there and work.
I spotted one comment about GDB as the output scrolled
past that said that debugging would be unavailable.
Is this normal or a fault with my set up?

Cheers,
Dave
