Hi all,
I am trying to build fp from 3.5.1 snapshot and I don't know what the
command is.
I have downloaded fpc-2.5.1.i386-linux.tar.gz and extracted to
/juni/fpc and downloaded fpcbuild.zip and extracted to /juni/3.5.1/.
I cannot find any instructions on how I can build fp from the source.
What is the command for Linux for me to create fp ?
Best Regards,
pew

Pew, knowling how to build anything under linux is a fundamental skill
that's necessary to run linux. However, the usual way to build
binaries from source code is to run ./configure first from the source
code parent directory, then run make then run 'make install' as sudo.
Robert, I'm not sure you're being helpful since FPC does not use
./configure.
Peter, I do not claim to be an experienced builder and I usually work
from a source release (currently 2.4.2) rather than from SVN so your
mileage may vary.
You will need the standard Linux binary utilities (as, ar, ld, make),
how you get those depends on what distro you're using.
cd ..../fpcsrc
make NOGDB=1 clean all
This command worked.
make install
This command did not work.
ls shows these files.
createbranch.sh
demo
fpcdocs
fpcsrc
install
logs
ls_result
Makefile
Makefile.fpc
readme.rev
sh ./createbranch.sh > temp1
gives this temp1 output.
Usage: createbranch.sh <branch/tag name>
Example: createbranch.sh branches/fixes_2_1
createbranch.sh tags/release_2_0_4
This makes no sense to me at all. Can someone please explain this to me.
Best Regards,
pew
then check that the ppcXXXX symlink in /usr/local is correct.
There is a build FAQ for this which you will need when you start trying
to do anything clever.
