Hi,

after checking out "release_2_0_4" of fpc the compiler seems to have built correctly, but when it comes to building h2pas the following error occurs:

<snip>
gmake -C h2pas all
gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/home/marc/program/fpc-svn/fpc/utils/h2pas' /usr/local/bin/gmkdir -p units/i386-freebsd

How can I fix this?

(svn told: Revision 6068)

TIA,

Are you sure your file isn't corrupt? This is the code there:

----
const
yynmarks   = 310;
yynmatches = 310;
yyntrans   = 559;
yynstates  = 312;

yyk : array [1..yynmarks] of Integer = (
----

310 is larger than 1, so the compiler should not complain.

Maybe it is, although I think it is generated, so the source (scan.l ?) must be defect ...

<snip>
const
yynmarks   = 0;
yynmatches = 0;
yyntrans   = 0;
yynstates  = 2;

yyk : array [1..yynmarks] of Integer = (
{ 0: }
{ 1: }
);
</snip>

Looks like the scanner generator does something fishy ...

I rather think your tplex is broken. However, there is a pregenerated .pas file in svn, so you only need to make sure it won't get regenerated.

Daniël

It wasn't easy to do (fiddling Makefiles, setting r/o wasn't enough) but in the end that did the trick.

Thanks for your help and patience,
Marc
