Installing from trunk

I cloned the main/trunk from gitlab, ran 'make all' and ‘make install' as instructed. The installed libraries are in /usr/local/lib tree with names that indicate they are for version 3.3.1, but the fpc compiler installed in /usr/local/bin prints 3.2.2. Under the source compiler directory I see ppca64 which prints 3.3.1. Is there something missing in the instructions? Or do I have to use another git branch?

Thanks
Pete

As far as I know, "make install" does not update the symlinks in /usr/local/bin, so after a make install the actual compiler binary symlinks (ppcx64 or ppci386) still point to the old version. You will need to update those manually.

Michael.
