Hi all,

i already downloaded, printed and read marcov's pdf reg. building fpc. I have the need, to build / compile fpc, using only the fpc executable ( ppc386 or ppcx64 ), the sources from subversion and the needed tools/utils.

But where can i find the tools/utils needed for windows ? The binutils and make packages from mingw32 site on sourceforge doesn't work.The make, coreutils and shutils from gnuwin32 project also on sourceforge doesn't work either. The url's in the above pdf doesn't exists.

Is it possible someone to post where can i find the tools/utils needed for build / compile fpc from sources in windows ?

PS: I don't want just to use the tools / utils from the fpc packages. I want to know how to produce / find them.

regards,

They are available in the fpcbuild svn repository. You can get them directly using:

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/trunk/install/binw32/

(or by just surfing to that url and downloading the appropriate binaries)

Well, or if you look for a huge collection of cross binutils for win32, get http://svn2.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/binaries/i386-win32/ by svn co http://svn2.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/binaries/i386-win32/
