I try to compile FPC from the CVS sources under Win98 (I know, but nobody is perfect).
For that I type : MAKE COMPILER GO32V2ZIP
All seems to work well, but after a certain moment, I can see some error message like 'Cannot find SOMETHING.ppu' (replace SOMETHING by nearly what unit you want)
At the end I have nothing in the temp directory where it seems the final executables need to be.
I'm sure I have done something wrong! But what?

Auxiliary question: I Try to compile the CVS version of FVision, but I have nothing exept an ugly non working correctly texte interface in graph mode... How can I have something like the IDE?

not sure why make doesn't work... need to check you have all right stuff in correct paths...eg see the fpc ftp site (ftp.freepascal.org/fpc /source/fpc.zip for an example of the correct paths. It's probably fv that is missing but might be other things too...

fvision hasn't yet been integrated properly with fpc so won't/may not work, so you need to use the fv source which isn't being distributed freely because of Borland copyright problems...

If you just want the latest go32v2 why not use the snapshots - you can download them from ftp fpc /snapshot/go32v32/. Unless you really really need to make your own this is the easiest solution.
