Hi fellows ...

Do exist some "how-to" compile the sources ??

My platform is FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE.

Thanks for any help ...

No, there is no how-to (there is a "make cycle faq" somewhere I believe however). However, if you've got the compiler and the rtl sources untarred in a directory, go in the compiler directory and type

make cycle RELEASE=1
make install

to compile and install the compiler/rtl. You will need a prior binary installation of FPC on your system (since it doesn't bootstrap using gcc)

Small correction:

The programmers reference contains a whole chapter on how to compile the compiler and RTL.

Michael.

there is some stuff in the new docn (NB just produced at the week -end), prog ref manual, from ftp site, \docs\doc-html.zip about making compiler & rtl yourself...so that may help...

Unless you _really_ need to modify the sources (& then compile the sources), it's probably best to use the snapshots, produced daily/ or very frequently
- that's why we do them to prevent the need for having to do it yourself! These are available for go32, win32, linux, for both v1.0 (the released version) & v1.1 (the devel version) from the www.freepasscal site (under development or something similar) or directly from ftp site /snapshots directory of freepascal.org or its mirrors. There are also, fyi, some versions under devel at the moment eg for m68k, netbsd, unix, & many more.

Good luck...
