Hello everybody!

I just downloaded FPC 1.9 from SourceForge and installed it on my SuSE 8.1 box.

During first test compilations of some of my projects I encountered the following:

(1) using fpcmake to build new Makefiles leads to a loop. In the "Packages.fpc" file in the "/units/linux/rtl" directory the requirement is the rtl-package itself. After deleting this requirement fpcmake works just fine.

(2) It's obvious when looking in the source, but wasn't mentioned anywhere (or I didn't find it) that the new linux unit is currently empty and you have to use oldlinux instead...

Please note, that I'm not in the devel list ;)

have a nice day
Tobias

That's because oldlinux is not 100% compatible, and never will be. It is only meant as an aide for porting purposes.

Also oldlinux will be linux/i386 only (so code running on other processors and other Unix processes won't have it)

The units to use are baseunix and unix. Most often used calls from unit linux are in unit baseunix.

Unit unix might change a bit in time.
