These are standard programs on Linuxsystems, with the possible exception of make. For DOS, or OS/2 / eComStation, they are distributed as part of Free Pascalreleases.

The following programs are optionally needed if you use some special targets. Which ones you need are controlled by the settings in the tools section.

A file comparer.

ppdep

The ppdep dependency lister. Distributed with Free Pascal.

ppumove
