I have longer time a difficulty to solve this message when I try to build fpc with "sudo make clean all": Makefile:2279: *** No libgdb.a found, supply NOGDB=1 to disable debugger support. of course, then I use "sudo make clean all NOGDB=1" and it builds fine, but without debugger support I need. I am a newbie to MacOSX 10.5 and therefore I would like to ask how to install libgdb.a library which is requested. Thanks for any reply in advance.
