?!?HUH?!?! No, just follow the instructions. It will make a directory
fpcbuild/fpcsrc
??? Why such a big deal? The directory name should be irrelevant.
Anyway, I changed to fpcbuild now.
No, just 'install/makepack'. What's so difficult following the
instructions? It's really a no-brainer. So that's what you should not
do: think. Just follow the instructions, don't think you know what to do
better.
Some times people use the slash to abreviate the real command. It looked a very unusual bash command to me, so I didn't think it was an actual bash command.
But now I see that it will execute the executable makepack inside the folder install.
But this was the wrong command to do, since the subject is about building the RPMs.
By the way, where can I get the docs-pdf package for FPC 2.4.2?
And which packages you need depends on your distribution. On Fedora I
need tetex, tetex-latex and tetex-fonts.
thanks, I installed tetex and friends, and tryed to use the docs-pdf from fpc 2.4.0 to test if "make rpm" works, but tetex gives all kinds of errors:
