Is there a "correct" way of telling the build process to skip the fp IDE? I'm trying to build trunk for SPARC so I can test the two recent FPC fixes plus another in Lazarus and am getting an error when building fp which I'd rather not stop to look at right now (although I'll try to report it later).

For the moment I've commented out the IDE=1 line in Makefile.fpc.

Delete the 'ide' folder? :)

A 'svn revert' can always restore it later.

I don't think there is another way. Perhaps the fpc team will accept a patch like this?

But won't the top-level makefile rules object to that?

2011/9/9 Mark Morgan Lloyd :

I would just try it, these lines from Makefile.fpc may support it: # Compile also IDE (check for ide and fv dir)
ifneq ($(wildcard ide),)

Otherwise, I would try
make IDE=0

Thanks Vincent, I'll have a play once I've achieved the primary objective which is to test fixes other people have contributed recently: not to do so promptly would border on the ungrateful :-)
