The other problem was that in the documentation they refered to the fcl folder as /opt/fpc/packages/fcl but in my installation it is /opt/fpc/fcl.

Yes I have to change this again. The FCL directory has been moving around and I have not changed the HowTo again to relect this change. I will get that modified today.

Do you have a packages directory? If not, go into your fpc directory and do a cvs co packages and see if that helps. Shane

I wonder if someone can help me with this problem... It must be quite straightforward to fix. I retrieved the CVS source for FP and Lazarus yesterday. I
followed the instructions in the how-to (installed into /opt/fpc, cvs'ed everything, make cycle for
compiler - compiled fine, compiled lazarus -
problem!). The problem I ran into was that
systemh.inc (or something like that) could not be
found. I found this in the sub-folders related to FP, not under the lazarus sub-folder. The other problem was that in the documentation they refered to the fcl folder as /opt/fpc/packages/fcl but in my installation it is /opt/fpc/fcl.

What should I do to sort this out and get it
compiling?

BTW, I'm using RedHat Linux 6.1. And although I have done admin type stuff in Solaris and a bit in Linux I haven't done development for Linux before. All my development has been for Windows in the past.

Thanks,
Kevin.

Can't this be fixed in the makefiles?

You have to add the correct paths in the ppc386.conf inside of the etc directory if you are using the .conf file. Else you can pass the -Fu switch on the command line when compiling.

-Fu/path-to-file

I agree... wouldn't it be better if the makefiles
actually correspond to the current directory
structure? I don't know much about Makefiles so I don't know how to make the changes myself. I have tried Cliff's suggestion about editing ppc386.cfg, but now I am getting the error:

Compiling classes.pp
Fatal: Can't find unit OBJPAS
make: *** [classes.ppu] Error 1

Anything I need to do? I've also tried copying the rtl and units folders into /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.12/rtl and /usr/lib/fpc/0.99.12/units. This made no
difference.

Thanks,
Kevin.
