[fpc-pascal] FP.exe error in x86_64-Win64

[James Richters]

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?

  I misunderstood your previous problem, it only crashes when you try to compile the source, not at startup...

  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.
