Hello.

I have a strange result while compiling fpc from
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_3_2/.

Here, on Linux Debian 10.1 multi-arch (64 bit + 32 bit), when I do compilation with that script:
------------------
#!/bin/sh

cd fixes_3_2

TARGET_VER=3.2.0
TARGET=x86_64-linux
COMPILER=/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64

make clean
make all FPC=$COMPILER OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/fpc/$TARGET_VER ------------------------

The script first clean everything and do the compilation of fpc with ppcx64 and all seems ok.
But, when the compilation is ok and a "new" ppcx64 is created, I dont know why, the process continue, remove all was already done, recompile all using ppc386 (fpc 32 bit) and finally only install new fpc 32 bit (ppc386).

The good news is that new installation of fpc.3.2. and ppc386 is working perfectly.

How to do to have the fpc 64 bit (ppcx64), why is it deleted using the above script?

I did try using this: make all FPC=$COMPILER CPU_TARGET=x86_64 OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"
But, the same, the result is a fpc 32 bit (no 64 bit).

What is wrong?

Thanks.

In your last line:
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/fpc/$TARGET_VER

you do not specify any FPC make variable value.

In such cases, the Makefile will look for fpc
binary in the path, probably find it as /usr/bin/fpc and it will depend on which /usr/bin/fpc it is:

If this binary is linked to the i386-linux installation, it will give i386 as default CPU_TARGET and linux as OS_TARGET, and you will thus use ppc386 executable to recompile everything.

I suppose this all comes from the fact that the x86_64 Free pascal was installed before the i386 version, thus overwriting the x86_64 version of fpc binary.

You can fix your problem simply by adding explicitly FPC=$COMPILER
to the make install line.

Hello Pierre and thanks for answer.

You can fix your problem simply by adding explicitly FPC=$COMPILER to the make install line.

Huh, in the script that I use:

Do you mean that in the script? :

COMPILER=/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64 ... make all FPC=$COMPILER OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"

Will not work, I have to use this one:

---> make all FPC=/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64 OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib

OK, I will try it.
But I still dont understand why there is a loop at compilation, this are the steps:

1) clean all,
2) then compile using ppcx64,
3) clean all, ----> why this loop ?
4) then compile using ppc386 ----> why this loop ?
5) install the complied data.

I suppose this all comes from the fact that the x86_64 Free pascal was installed before the i386 version, thus overwriting the x86_64 version of fpc binary.

Ha, ok, indeed i386 version was installed as last one. If above script does not work, I will try this, reinstall x86_64 Free pascal over i386.

Many thanks.

Write you later.

Here is my buildscript used to build a new snapshot. Note that it passes the /new/ compiler to make install.  (FPC=compiler/$GENCOMPILER)

Hello.

Write you later.

Ooops, ok, I think I get it (maybe):
I have to add the compiler used for "make install" too, like this:

make FPC=$COMPILER install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/fpc/$TARGET_VER

OK, I will try this.

Re-write you later.

Hello Pierre, Marcov and everybody.

OK, the tip works!

So, to everybody, if you have a multi-arch system, always define the compiler used in your make command-line.
Even for a "make install":

So a working script would be for 64/32 bit:
__________________

#!/bin/sh

cd fixes_3_2

TARGET_VER=3.2.0

TARGET=x86_64-linux
#(or i386-linux)

COMPILER=/usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64
#( or ppc386)

make clean
make all FPC=$COMPILER OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"
make FPC=$COMPILER install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/fpc/$TARGET_VER ___________________

Many tanks Pierre.

Huh, I forgot the boring question:

When this:

Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.0-beta [2019/10/08] for x86_64: Copyright (c) 1993-2018 by Florian Klaempfl and others

will become that?:

Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.0 [2019/10/08] for x86_64: Copyright (c) 1993-2019 by Florian Klaempfl and others
