Hi,
I setup a new 64bit server in our company, running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
(64bit). I want to us it as a 64bit testbed for our applications. So I
want to compile 64bit version of our software.
I installed all the usual compiler requirements: binutils etc...
I copied FPC 2.2.3 (latest svn revision) from my local 32bit system to
the 64bit server. I made sure my ~/.fpc.cfg file is correct. I then
ran the following script which I use for all my FPC versions on my
local machine.
---------------[ startbuild.sh ]----------------
make clean
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/graemeg/programming/fpc_2.2.3
----------------[ end ]--------------------
My directory layouts are as follows
/home/graemeg/programming/fpc_2.2.3
/src
<--- svn checkout
/bin
/lib
/.......
My fpc.cfg file reflects the compiler version number in the unit
search paths. When I try and recompile the compiler, I get the
following error.

Questions:
1) I see it's generating a i386 compiler and not a x86_64 compiler???
Maybe that's because I copied my 32bit FPC 2.2.3 directory to the
64bit server?
2) No idea what the error means. I do have a /usr/lib/crti.o file. But
maybe that's due to the server being 64bit and FPC is generating a
32bit executable.
3) Can I bootstrap a 64bit FPC without any previous FPC compiler? I
don't want to download 35MB's FPC 2.2.2 just to recompile 2.2.3
Regards,
