Because you had a ppc386 in the path, which the Makefile found by itself. > But when doing "fpc" I get > > Error: ppc386 can't be executed, error message: Failed to execute "ppc386", > error code: 127 > > And in fact "ppc386" is not in /usr/bin > > What did I do wrong ? "make install" does not create any symbolic links to change the default compiler to the newly installed one (because normally the latest released version should remain the default compiler, since it's the only one with which you can safely compile newer compiler versions). So if you want to overwrite or create it: cd compiler make FPC=./ppc386 installsymlink Jonas_______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
