Bootstrapping:
FPC requires a suitable set of binutils (AS,AR,LD), gmake and a
ok, here is a nice explanation from Marco's buildfaq glossary:
"bootstrapping is the entire process of creating a compiler starting
from another compiler (another version or a totally different
compiler). See also make cycle"
"make cycle: A command to rebuild the FPC compiler and core RTL from
source. (bootstrap, building a new compiler from an older, or other
compiler)"
Maybe "Building the compiler" is better than the criptic "Bootstrapping"
for a novice.
thanks
