This folder contains the installer for the 32 bit version of Lazarus 1.4.4. This installation is for all supported 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows.

* The default installer is:
     lazarus-1.4.4-fpc-2.6.4-win32.exe
You should download this file, if you want to work on any Windows 32 or 64 bit version.
The installers include FPC 2.6.4 and they include the Lazarus help files.

* Add-On for building 64bit Windows applications:
     lazarus-1.4.4-fpc-2.6.4-cross-x86_64-win64-win32.exe
This file can be installed as add-on to the 32 bit Lazarus IDE (on Systems with Windows 32 or 64 bit), if you wish to develop for 64bit Windows too.
If you install this on a 64bit Windows PC together with the 32 bit Lazarus IDE, you will also able to debug 64 bit applications.

This file can be installed as add-on to the 32 bit Lazarus IDE, if you wish to develop for WinCE.

*** Note on debugging ***
The installers come with GDB 7.2. According to our tests newer versions of GDB are less stable or otherwise faulty when used to debug FPC generated executables.
On some installations of Win 7 or newer Windows this version does not run stable. On other Win 7 this gdb is still stable. Most likely problems are crashes, when the open/save dialogs are used. 
If you experience this issue, please try the workaround:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#gdb.exe_has_stopped_working
In the debugger options and set the field "DisableLoadSymbolsForLibraries" to "True".
If this does not help download the "alternative gdb" from the listed downloads.
