What steps will reproduce the problem?

2.error

Compiling winff.lpr
Fatal: Can't find unit Interfaces used by winff
ERROR: failed compiling of project /home/al/winff/BUILD/winff/winff.lpi

How fix it?

Please add more information.

- What version of lazarus and fpc?
- What did you do to compile? I don't assume you tell lazarus IDE to compile as 
that is probably not allowed for the distribution
- Complete output before during and after the error.

I would say, you need to fix the dependencies you are using to compile winff. 
If you want to get an idea, have a look at Debian, where I maintain winff.

I don't know anything of Mandriva, but are you sure you have all the necessary 
lazarus packages installed? This error really seems to complain about the 
incompleteness of something that lazarus could provide, i.e. on my system:
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/lcl/interfaces/gtk2/interfaces.pas
or (I am not sure which)
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/lcl/units/i386-linux/gtk2/interfaces.ppu
.

Please find out if you have similar files on your system or if they are 
provided by any of the lazarus packages that you don't have installed.

I am invalidating this bug as I don't believe this has anything to do with 
winff itself.

As a reference, please also have a look at:
