Since a few weeks I cannot rebuild fpc any more, using fpc 2.5.1. make clean all fails with the always same error message(s): fgl.pp(136,38) Error: Generics without specialization cannot be used as a type for a variable [...] What's wrong?

Building trunk is only supported for the latest release, which is 2.4.4.

So if I were you I'd try 2.4.4 and if that doesn't help, then ask again ;)

On my WinXP I can compile FPC 2.5.1 (branches_2_6) and 2.4.5 versions. No errors.

Thanks, 2.4.2 also works for me :-)

Seems that I skipped too many versions, when 2.2.4 started reporting errors.

I didn't say that it mustn't work. But you're only on the save side if you use tha latest release.

You're right, but I consider the fixes_2_6 (not branches_2_6, sorry) safe, don't you?

No, it is not safe. The only thing that is safe is the latest release, which is 2.4.4 currently.

And fixes_2_4 (I'm using too) I can consider safe?

No, only the latest release. I really don't know in how many different ways I can still say this: only the latest release is ever supported for building any newer svn version of FPC. Nothing else is ever safe.
