At the of the top fpc Makefile, it says: Don't edit, this file is generated by FPCMake Version 1.9.8 [2005/02/07] How and when does that generation get done?
I found fpcmake. I would have found it sooner if the message at the top of the top Makefile had not capitalized the first four letters of its name. Pascal is not case sensitive, but unix "find" _is_. The message uses "TitleDate"; if it were changed to use "lowercase(TitleDate)", the message would be more accurate.
One could argue the tool name is FPCMake. The tool executable is called fpcmake. Unix find has a -iname search option for searching case sensitve.
Are the makefiles in cvs kept up-to-date, or should users run fpcmake after updating from cvs?
As a rule yes. Usualy users don't have to run fpcmake, unless they change the Makefile.fpc.
All of the Makefiles use "TAROPT=vI" to compress with bzip; the gnu tar changefile indicates that "I" was superseded by "j" on 2000-10-23. The attached patch changes all "vI" to "vj".
The "vI" comes from fpcmake; the attached simple patch fixes it.
The fpcmake.inc file is generated by data2inc from fpcmake.ini.
