Hi All,

Maybe its my lack of sleep or too much coffee but I just cant seem to get 1.9.4 to build. I have the 1.9.2 binary installed and it is working fine. I keep getting the error:

system.pp(32,2) Fatal: Can't open include file "systemh.inc" make[2]: *** [msg2inc.exe] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `C:/pp/fpc/compiler'
make[1]: *** [msgtxt.inc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/pp/fpc/compiler'
..\bin\win32\make: *** [compiler] Error 2

Did I miss a doc somewhere? Do I need more or less coffee? I think I need to specify an include path somewhere, right?

Also, a question on the TStream class. I am working on a little project that will use streams a lot. I would like to know whom I should send possible changes to. I am especially interested in optimizing their performance and enhancing the TStringStream class.

There is a FAQ available at http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf

The win32 daily snapshots have been working fine for me for last few days, starting with either v1.0 or 1.9.4. If you use the v19 snapshot from last night from ftp.freepascal.org ...fpc/snapshot/v19/win32-i386 and use the compiler & rtl - make sure you copy all of the rtl stuff into your rtl and that .cfg has the right rtl path, from basew32.zip it should work. It did for me, on win9x.

Can I get hands on that win32 binary that you finaly (hopefuly) will compile?

Thanks,

If you want latest v1.9.5 (last night's soprces!) why not use snapshot- that's what it's for! ftp.freepascal.org
/home/fpc/ftp/snapshot/v19/win32-i386. Alternatively use the release v1.9.4 from /beta, same address. Regards John

It means the RTL was not compiled. Try first compiling the RTL and then only the compiler. Normally, the command
'make cycle'
does this.

You can send them to me.
