I pulled from CVS to get the latest FPC and I am missing nopt.pas. It's used in compiler/nadd.pas.
Thoughts? Anyone else have this problem?

So, now what?
Are the FPC folks aware of this problem? Are they planning on adding the file soon?

Well, they haven't fixed it and I did a MAKE CLEAN so now I can't compile.
Any thoughts on how we go about getting them to fix this ASAP? I can't get the source from the site, I keep getting an error.
Anyone have this file they could send me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I had the same problem. But I am using the 1.1 compiler, not the 1.0.4 compiler. I figured that the FPC people just missed a file or something and that they would get it fixed sometime soon. So I just kept the previous one.

bummer. they missed a couple of other files on 102. too bad that some new files are missed on 104.
i think i am going to wait to upgrade mine.
i guess this is a file new to 104 because i do not have a copy in 102. sorry.
moose.
We know about the problem, i've already mailed about the missing file on monday. But the guy that should add the file couldn't be online for a few days as he has written, so the problem will stay for awhile in the development (1.1 branch)
The 1.0.4 release is correct and includes all the files required and it is the recommended version to base development on.
If you want a stable compiler from CVS you need to checkout the FIXES_1_0_0 branch, that will give you a 1.0.x compiler. The HEAD branch is the development branch in which some things can be broken, most of these broken things, especially a missing file, are also known by the core developpers as we also can't cycle a new compiler.
I hope this will make the compiler related part a bit more clear... In short the conclusion is that we recommend to base development on the latest released (1.0.4) compiler. And only use the development compiler if you really require one of the new features like interfaces or default parameters.
