perhaps the message is too long and too informative? maybe something
like a
bikini (short and to the point) would be better?
eg : Makefile:2704: *** WRONG COMPILER VERSION (2.7.1)! You MUST use
2.6.0 to
compile with. Other compiler versions are not supported! (You might try
"OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK=1" but NO SUPPORT is given for this if it fails!)
I'd suggest that anything like that would be counterproductive, since
it implies
that prompt support will be given for things that are even dumber-
like trying
to compile FPC using Delphi :-)
ok... so then, "but NO SUPPORT is given OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK usage!)"
i'm guessing that last section is what you were looking at as giving an
implication? frankly, it took me several minutes to come up with that
and i thought it pretty clear and to the point about the wrong compiler
version... i also wanted to retain the part about OVERRIDEVERSIONCHECK
but make it clear that no support would be given for its use...
i did even have "2.6.0 or 2.6.2" but decided that was not good even
though it may be supported...
2.6.0 is currently only supported for now. It might be removed sooner or later.
earlier in the thread someone posted that 2.6.2 could be used... that's why i
thought to maybe include that and then rejected due to the phrasing used ("will
work")...
