Hi,
I'm busy setting up a new development system using FreeBSD 9.0 (32-bit) on i386 hardware. I downloaded the FPC 2.6.0 binary release for FreeBSD 8.0, which works fine. But due to the thread / semaphore bug in FPC 2.6.0 (no threaded apps can run) I am forced to use FPC 2.7.1
Anyway, I checked out the latest code from trunk, and while doing a 'gmake all', the compilation failed on FP IDE.

-------------------------------------
Looking closer at the command line to compile fp.pas, it is missing unit paths to...
fcl-base
fcl-xml
...both required by the CHM units.
I guess there must be an outdated Makefile or something in Trunk, for FreeBSD.
Just thought I would mention it.
