If you want the FPC 3.0.2 version, then download the official source
archive for the 3.0.2 release from FPC's SourceForge page.
Here is where I am at: I have just downloaded your repo at
https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal and I have it saved at
That repo only tracks the Trunk (unstable) branch. So if you want the
source code of a stable release, download the archive from SourceForge.
'J:\Programming\FreePascal' Is there a better place to download the
x86 64bit source?
I normally order my directories as follows:
c:\FPC
\2.6.4\
\src
\i386-win32
\bin
\lib
\share
\x86_64-win64
\bin
\lib
\share
\3.0.2\
\src
\i386-win32
\bin
\lib
\share
\x86_64-win64
\bin
\lib
\share
So a source archive will be unpacked in the correct "src" directory.
This setup also allows me to have a single global fpc.cfg file for all
FPC versions. The paths in that fpc.cfg file uses FPC's macros to expand
to the correct versions.
My Linux and FreeBSD systems have a similar layout.
What directory do I put 'go.bat'
It will go in the c:\fpc\<version>\ directory. But it doesn't really
matter, as long as you adjust the paths inside the patch file to match
your environment.
Where am I setting Install_prefix?
Is that where I put the source code or where I want the compiled
version to go?
That's where the new compiled version will go. So if you use FPC 2.6.4
to build a new 3.0.0 compiler, then the install prefix will translate to
the path: c:\fpc\3.0.0\x86_64-win64\
