I see.
"Cycling" in this context means that the
compiler compiles itself a few times, each time with the recently
compiled compiler, to make sure that the resulting version has been
compiled with the latest version, and all current optimizations and
compile settings have been used.
I don't see how this should work unless the latest released version is
installed anywhere. I guess _this_ is my problem.
"make (zip)install" compiles everything, i.e. the cycle + packages and
optionally gives you a nice single-file archive which can be used to
install fpc.
After compiling I do
make FPC=`pwd`/compiler/ppc386 install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
to install the just compiled version to make it usable with Lazarus
This does work, but i understand that this does not do any compiling.
