As said before, the problem is the inclusion of .. fpc\trunk\units\*

I don't know where it comes from. I thought the makefile maybe auto added an units directory at the toplevel, but I tested, and it doesn't.

So something strange is going on on that system, but I can't reproduce.

"said before"? i must have missed it... i try to read all posts in all of the fpc and lazarus lists but some things just get too deep for me to follow along with... this particular problem /just/ popped up with the above revision update... i don't recall what revision i was at before updating and i don't know how to find out from tortoise...

I don't know where it comes from. I thought the makefile maybe auto added an units directory at the toplevel, but I tested, and it doesn't. So something strange is going on on that system, but I can't reproduce.

strange on my system? i don't know... i rarely have problems updating and compiling... especially since i got my scripts coded a year or two back to handle it all for me...

FWIW: the scripts are based on the ones in the wiki (will have to hunt for them) where fpc (and lazarus) are built and installed into their directories that are updated from the repository... they are bootstrapped from binaries in the "c:\freepascal\binutils" directory (hereafter called the bootstrap directory)... these FPC and Lazarus installs started as clean pulls from the repository and they were built using the bootstrap files to get a working installation which has been being updated ever since then...

the binaries for the bootstrap were all pulled from the repository some time back... currently they are all from 2013 May 21 so i guess they are FPC 2.6.2 based as i did save the previous ppc386 as ppc386-2.6.0.exe and the current one is copied as ppc386-2.6.2.exe... perhaps i need to update that bootstrap directory's contents from the repository again??

barring that, i do have a FPC 2.6.4 that appears to have been installed using some windows installer thing... all those directories are dated 2014 Apr 06... the ppc386 binary in there is dated 2014 Mar 06... so i'm guessing that i pulled and installed that a month after it was released?? could i maybe pull the needed bootstrap binaries from this 2.6.4 installation and place them in the bootstrap directory?? do you think that will fix this if it is a problem with old bootstrap binaries being used?

my FPC compile log does show the above ppc386.exe (matching ppc386-2.6.2.exe) is being used to compile pp.pas in fpc/trunk/compiler... here're the last two instances of that bootstrap ppc386.exe being used...

FWIW: i believe that the following link where marcos douglas gave details on how to bootstrap FPC and Lazarus is where i started...

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Installing_Lazarus#Compiling.2Finstalling_FPC_and_Lazarus_from_Sources_of_SVN_.28Win32.29

at one time i was going to add more to it but i never got back with marcos and did anything else... obviously i updated something i my routine at some time because of having ppc386-2.6.0 and ppc386-2.6.2 available in that bootstrap directory...

i am going to make a copy of my bootstrap directory and attempt to update the existing files from the FPC 2.6.4 installation... i'll get back with the results... of course, my update script will pull a new revision from the repository during this process but we'll see what happens, either way ;)

PS: my apologies if the above appears to be rambling or a "wall of words"... i'm just trying to get everything written down as i think about it...

no, same problem as before... i updated 31 of the 32 files in my bootstrap i386-win32 directory (c:\freepascal\binutils\i386-win32)... the upx.exe binary is the only one i didn't have in the 2.6.4 installation...

i updated the existing (default) ppc386.exe in the bootstrap directory (c:\freepascal\binutils) to the one from 2.6.4 and also copied it as ppc386-2.6.4.exe which i then forced the use of in my update script (PP=ppc386-2.6.4.exe)...

my script always starts with distclean...

these are just compiled...

why weren't they updated from the ones in the packages directory which were just built previously above about the 10% level of the process?

what changed since 2014-Nov-22 in the build process? it worked then but not now?

as near as i can tell, the problem is somewhere in here because it is finding the old unit file but not the sources where they reside... i'm not familiar with how fpcmake works so i don't even know where to begin trying to track the problem down... all i have is the full output redirected to a log file which i can make available to you if desired... it is about 2750 lines long at 242KB...

=== snip ===

so i gave up, renamed my existing trunk directory and pulled a completely new update from the repository... that compiled just fine...

i have no clue what the difference is between the old and new... if anyone has any idea where to possibly look, i'll give it a try... other than that, in a few weeks or months, i'll be killing off my old trunk directory...

maybe it is related to my having to revert back to an earlier revision a few weeks ago? i could easily have done that the wrong way... i would have thought that the next update, which compiled just fine, would have brought everything else in from that revision forward but :shrug:

You probably have some .ppu or .o files in locations where they should not be. This can happen for example if you compile one of the units from a command line-yourself. Or by adding the path to the sources to a Lazarus-project. If a .ppu file is placed between the sources, this kind of problems may arise. (And a make clean does not fix that)

Maybe you could check if this is the case. (You can also search for all .ppu and .o files in the checkout and remove them all. See if that helps)

Joost.
