For testing purposes I downloaded the Ubuntu 13.04 64bit version (which came out today) and tried to build the fpc trunk. I encountered the following problem during "make all":

/home/username/fpc-2.6.2/bin/ppcx64 -Ur -Xs -O2 -n -Fux86_64 -Fusystems -Fu/home/username/fpc/fpc/rtl/units/x86_64-linux -Fix86_64 -FE. -FUx86_64/units/x86_64-linux -Cg -dRELEASE -dx86_64 -dGDB -dBROWSERLOG -Fux86 -Sew pp.pas

nx64flw.pas(52,1) Fatal: There were 3 errors compiling module, stopping Fatal: Compilation aborted

I had this error twice. The first time I tried using Ubuntu's fpc package (sudo apt-get install fpc) which gave me fpc version 2.6.0.

After that first failure I removed the fpc package and tried using version 2.6.2 (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/?source=dlp) to make the trunk version. I encountered the same error when attempting "make all" again.

Someone (you?) mentioned this on #fpc earlier. I tracked down the cause of the problem but do not have a fix.

Rolling back two revisions to r24322 (before the 8086 branch was merged in) will let you compile.

That looks like it did it, getting the older revision. I should have thought of that myself. Thanks.

No, that was me. And meanwhile this is fixed in trunk. (although there might be some other issues)
