I installed the full fpc 12 install over the top of the old fpc tree. Now I can rebuild the compiler. However, I still can recompile the fpc, which is the first step in the HowTo FAQ section question 2, How do I compile lazarus.
Here's the message it gives me...
[WINDOZE] E:\opt\fpc\fcl>make
e:/opt/fpc/bin/win32/make.exe -C win32 all
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `e:/opt/fpc/fcl/win32' ppc386.exe -Twin32 -S2 -Fue:\opt\fpc/rtl/win32 -Fue:\opt\fpc/units/win32 -Fi../
inc -Fi../i386 -FE. -di386 ../inc/inifiles.pp
Fatal: Can't compile unit SYSWIN32, no sources available make.exe[1]: *** [inifiles.ppw] Error 1
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `e:/opt/fpc/fcl/win32' make.exe: *** [all] Error 2
I think it has to do with the / vs \ between DOS and *nix. If I change into the win32 directory like so...
[WINDOZE] E:\opt\fpc\fcl>cd win32
and enter the command that failed, replacing the / with \ I get this...
[WINDOZE] E:\opt\fpc\fcl\win32>ppc386.exe -Twin32 -S2 -Fue:\opt\fpc\rtl\win32 -F
ue:\opt\fpc\units\win32 -Fi..\inc -Fi..\i386 -FE. -di386 classes.pp
This would appear to have worked.
Any ideas?
Jeff.
