Hello!

Just reinstalled my X64 machine after changing the hardware. As Ubuntu 8.10 is stable now, I decided to use it instead of 8.04.

I first installed fpc 2.2.0 delivered via apt, then tried to compile the latest svn-revision (12367) to install fpc 2.3

I first did a "make distclean" as usual, then a "make all". That stopped on trying to compile pp.pas with an "EInvalidOp: Invalid floating point operation"

To check the source I did a "make distclean;make all" on a i386 Ubuntu 8.04 which worked as expected.

Anyone a little hint how to proceed?

thanks
Lukas

Trunk always requires the most recent release. And currently that is 2.2.2, not 2.2.0.

I know, Ubuntu is still the old version, and already in the process of updating since september (2.2.2 was released August 11th btw) but we can't help that either.

Easiest is to download the .tar, and only extract the commandline compiler.

Thanks Marco...

Ahhh - as you say it I start remembering...

Which worked perfectly.

But as far as I can remember, there was a meaningful errormessage when I tried to compile 2.3 on my i386 Machine with 2.2.0 first time. Now the compiler just dies with an EInvalidOp.

Is this OK, or is this a little bug?
