I got the latest FPC source using Subversion on Win32. Running make build in the root directory worked fine. Running make install fails because cp.exe does not ignore hidden directories, therefore it tries to delete the Subversion .svn directories, which is bad.

I have also had this problem. I have a patch which corrects this. Peter if you could contact me off-list ( () ) I
would like to discuss it with you before I submit it.
