Hi,

I just downloaded fpcbuild.zip from the trunk, which the Web site says should be 2.3.x. After I compiled and installed the compiler, it reported itself as 2.2.2.

Is this simply a cosmetic discrepancy or is the zip archive back-level?

If you are on a unix platform, then in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, there is a symlink for ppc386 (or whatever your architecture is) to the currently "active" version. A top-level make install will not replace this symlink. You can either modify it yourself to point to ../ lib/fpc/2.3.1/ppc386, or perform a "make installsymlink" in fpc/ compiler after performing the top-level "make install".

PS: when performing the top-level "make install", it's best to always use "make install FPC=compiler/ppc386", otherwise some files may be installed in a directory corresponding to the version number of the currently installed compiler.

Or rather:

make install FPC=`pwd`/compiler/ppc386

I'm not sure where you did the download from. You mentioned fpcbuild.zip from trunk which is normally used for svn.

Anyway this works. Using ftp from ftpmaster.freepascal.org, /pub/fpc/snapshot/v23/source you can get v2.3.1 fpcbuild.zip or fpc.zip, or from .../v22/ you can get v2.2.3. hth

Regards John

back-level?
