I always do...

    make clean
    <svn update>
    make all FPC=<last stable FPC release>

This always seems to work. I assume 'make all' gets translated to a
'make cycle' somehow? Or have I just been lucky for the last 5 years
doing it my way?


What's the difference between 'all' and 'cycle' options?


"make cycle" only works in the compiler directory and is used internally by a "make all" to compile a new compiler in the correct way and to ensure that it can compile itself again.

Normal users don't need "make cycle".
