Are you starting the compilation with FPC 2.4.0?

Jonas

My ppc386.exe is v2.5.1 compiled back in September

Is there a place when I can download the newer binary files/utils needed for the compile if that is the problem?

Building FPC svn trunk has always been and will always be only supported when starting using the compiler the latest official release (which is 2.4.0 at this time).

You can download the latest release from the website.

Jonas

It would be nice to have a minimum binary package(*) for those who usually compile svn.
(*) for linux, this would contain only ppc386-240, which is only 770K as tar.bz2 (or 821K as tar.gz) instead of 26MB/34MB of rpm/ one-big-file.tar.

For OS X and FreeBSD they can be found in

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.0/bootstrap/

Though they are not meant for SVNers, but more for automated build systems like FreeBSD ports, Darwinports, fink etc.

I'll see if I can extract the binary from some of the linux .tgz's later this day.

Thanks Jonas, using 2.4.0 for the 1st compile worked. I guess I shouldn't wait months before recompiling the latest SVN :)

Even if you subsequently recompile every new svn revision it may sometimes suddenly not work anymore with your previously compiled svn trunk version. As mentioned before: only compiling using the latest release is guaranteed to work at all times!

I added linux/i386 and /x86_64 compilers to bootstrap:

ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.0/bootstrap/

BTW, the base????.zip located in directory 'separate' within the respective target directory are appropriate alternatives for OS/2 & GO32v2 (it isn't exactly the same because also the compiled RTL units are included in that package, but it gives most benefits without any effort) - just in case if you intend to put information about these bootstrap version somewhere to the Wiki or the main WWW page.
