It is trying to compile the rtl because either the .ppu in the rtl directory doesn't exists or it is a different in nature which required it to be rebuilt with the version of the compiler you are using.

do the following

cd /opt/fpc/rtl
make
cd /opt/fpc/fcl
make
cd /opt/fpc/gtk
make
cd /opt/fpc/lazarus/lcl
make

now you can go to the lazarus directory

cd /opt/fpc/lazarus
make

Do these same steps everytime you cycle a new compiler.

Hi,
i have now installed the CVS version, when i cd into /opt/fpc/lazarus and do a make i get :

rmg:[lazarus]# make

Markus,
Are you on linux or Win32? I had this problem on Win32. I deltree'd the entire source directory, reinstalled FPC, then checked out everything from CVS and it went away. It was a bit drastic, I know, but it worked.

It's not missing, you need to add the correct paths to /etc/ppc386.cfg.

Hi,

is ppc386.cfg necesary if we build using the makefile ?

You should adjust/add the option -Fi path, for the include files (-Fu = for units I think)

A part of this file looks like :

# searchpath for units and other system dependent things #IFDEF Linux
# For statically, smartlinked units
#IFDEF FPC_LINK_STATIC
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/rtl/linux/static
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/units/linux/static
#ENDIF
# For Dynamically linked units
#IFDEF FPC_LINK_DYNAMIC
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/rtl/linux/shared
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/units/linux/shared
#ENDIF
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/rtl/linux
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/rtl/inc
-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/units/linux
#-Fu~/pp/units;~/pp/rtl/linux
#-Fu/opt/fpc/0.99.12/units;/opt/fpc/0.99.12/rtl
#ENDIF

# searchpath for libraries
-Fl/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66 #-Fl/pp/lib
#-Fl/lib;/usr/lib

But it does not work !

I have also the same problem to compile lazarus.

I can manage to :

> >cd /opt/fpc/rtl > >make

but the following is complaining about 'systemh.inc' not found.

> >cd /opt/fpc/fcl > >make

I know it is the compiler-option '-Fi' that somewhere should be adjusted. While executing 'make', I see that '-Fi ../inc' appears in the commandline options for ppc386. I figured out that that should be changed to '../rtl/inc'.

But where do I put that ???

As I understand, when using 'make' then the 'ppc386.cfg' doesn't play a role ?
In makefile.fpc I found that the option '-Fi' is set using some variable 'INC'. But I can't find where that variable is initialized to '../inc'.
I tried to add the line 'INC=../rtl/inc' in the /fcl/Makefile but this also doesn't help much.

So I'm a bit confused where to adjust the include-path of the compiler :(
