Hi all,

As 1.9.6 has finally entered Debian, I'm now working on packages for 1.9.8. However, by the time I try to compile the RTL, I get makefile errors which I didn't with 1.9.6. Here's the relevant output:

Why is the debian diff for 1.9.6 so big? It looks like it contains the same files that are also available in install/doc and install/debian in the original fpc sources and in cvs.

If you want to get a tar.gz.orig file you can use 'make debtargz' in the top dir of FPC.

Already fixed in current CVS:

I probably screwed up, somehow. I'll see if the same happens to 1.9.8 and fix it using 'make debtargz' as you've pointed out.

Thanks!
