Hi guys. I need your help.

I try build trunk compiler x64 for windows. I was extract stable release fpc_x64 form lazarus-2.0.8-fpc-3.0.4-win64.exe installer and put it to separate folder fpc_stable_x64. Also I put into fpc_stable_x64 folder bingw64 folder and fixed the file fpc.cfg as follows:

--- code --
    # searchpath for tools
-FDD:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64/bin/$FPCTARGET

    # it's doesn't work!
    -FDD:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64/binw64/ --- code ---

Then I run the bat-file as follows:

--- code ---
    set FPC_source={<fpc trunk root directory path>}     set FPC_binutils={<fpc trunk root directory path>}\bin\x86_64-win64     set FPC_stable_binutils={fpc_stable_x64 root directory path}\bin\x86_64-win64

    :: so it works!
    set binw64_path={fpc_stable_x64 root directory path}/binw64     set path=<bla-bla-bla>;%path%

    ...
    cd /d %FPC_source%
    make clean all install INSTALL_PREFIX=%FPC_source% PP=%FPC_stable_binutils%\ppcx64.exe DATA2INC=%FPC_source%\utils\data2inc.exe     ...
--- code ---

During compilation I get an error:

--- code ---
    ...
d:/Archive/development/fpc_stable_x64/bin/x86_64-win64/mv.exe -f x86_64/bin/x86_64-win64/pp.exe ppcx64.exe

--- code ---

What am I doing wrong?  Can someone tell me a link to a detailed manual?

As I have written on the forum there seems to be some problem with "echo" as this is the line the makefile intends to execute:

echotime:
    @echo Start $(STARTTIME) now $(ENDTIME)

Would you please go to the compiler directory and manually execute "make echotime" to see whether this works in principle?

Regards,
Sven

Hi Sven.

Thank U for te answer.

I tried using your advice. Here's what I got (the compiler revision number is specified in the paths)

d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198>set path=<path to make.exe x64 file>;%path%

d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198>@echo Start $(STARTTIME) now $(ENDTIME)
Start $(STARTTIME) now $(ENDTIME)

d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198>make echotime make: *** No rule to make target `echotime'.  Stop.

You did read the part where I said "go to the compiler directory"? ;)

Hi Sven.

In a previous post, I went to the root directory of the compiler trunk(d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198) and called "make echotime". Perhaps I misinterpreted your words :)

OK. Now I went to the root directory of the stable version of the x64 compiler (d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64) and got the same error:

C:\Users\leyba>cd /d d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64

d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64>make echotime make: *** No rule to make target `echotime'.  Stop.

I'm sorry, again, something I misunderstood?

I meant the literal "compiler" directory.

Sven

Directory d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64 is the compiler directory where fpc and ppcx4 are located.

Let's leave it until better times. Apparently I'm just an impassable dumbass :)

in your svn checkout dir, is a sub-directory called /compiler It has the sources for the compiler.

And you should run that particular make command in that dir.

OMG! I thank you for the detailed explanation. Forgive me my misunderstanding. I don't really distinguish the subtleties of English ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So:

C:\Users\leyba>set
path=d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64;%path% C:\Users\leyba>cd /d d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198\compiler d:\Archive\development\fpc_331_r45198\compiler>make echotime process_begin: CreateProcess((null), echo Start 02:10:01 now 02:10:01, ...) failed.
make (e=2): Не удается найти указанный файл. (eng: can't find the file specified////)
make: *** [echotime] Error 2

I start compiler building like this

make clean all install INSTALL_PREFIX=%FPC_source% PP=%FPC_stable_binutils%\ppcx64.exe DATA2INC=%FPC_source%\utils\data2inc.exe

Probably the build options should be different. I looked at the command line fpcupdeluxe. It applies the patch for Makefile (fpcpatch_all_makesearchpath_stable_3_0_4.patch)  and the command line options look something like this:

[2020-05-01 01:42:30.296 Info] FPCNativeInstaller (CleanModule: FPC): Execute: C:\fpcup\fpcbootstrap\make.exe. Params:
--jobs=1,FPC=C:\fpcup\fpcbootstrap\ppcx64.exe,--directory=C:\fpcup\fpcsrc,FPCMAKE=C:\fpcup\fpc\bin\x86_64-win64\fpcmake.exe,PPUMOVE=C:\fpcup\fpc\bin\x86_64-win64\ppumove.exe,FPCDIR=C:\fpcup\fpcsrc,PREFIX=C:\fpcup\fpc,INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\fpcup\fpc,UPXPROG=echo,COPYTREE=echo,CPU_SOURCE=x86_64,OS_SOURCE=win64,CPU_TARGET=x86_64,OS_TARGET=win64,distclean

I might experiment with command line options.

I am not too much of an expert on this. And probably Sven (or others) will have more advice.

But when I build, I add the appropriate path from within the build svn https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/trunk (or fixes_....) something like  (on windows)
PATH=<build_svn>\install\binw64;%PATH%;
or
PATH=<build_svn>\install\binw32;%PATH%;

No idea, if that is related to your problem.

Sorry for being unclear here...

Can you please try to execute "make echotime" (in the "fpc_331_r45198\compiler" directory ;) ) without any changes to the PATH variable?

You also said that when compiling for i386 this worked correctly. Would you please "echo %PATH%" before executing "make" in the directory with the source for both variants (i386 and x86_64)?

Sven

Would you please provide a directory listing (using "dir" should be enough) of the fpc_stable_x32\bin\i386-win32 and
fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64 directories? I have the feeling that something in there leads to this difference as that is the only thing you add to PATH.

Sven

Hi Sven.

I have attached the result in two files, so that it is convenient for you to compare.

03.05.2020 0:05, Sven Barth пишет:

Do I understand correctly that the ppcx64 files and other files of the stable release of the x64 compiler are built from the stable release of the x32 compiler and other utilities of the binw64 folder?

Maybe you will tell me the right way, how can I build stable binutils x64 using stable binutils x32?

From what I can see you should be able to simply use the fpc_stable_x32\bin\i386-win32 directory for building the 64-bit trunk version as it contains a ppcrossx64.exe and the binutils (though they aren't used by FPC on Windows anyway).

Regards,
Sven

FPC only provides a 32-bit -> 64-bit cross compiler as installer and that is indeed made using the 32-bit compiler. Lazarus however ships with a native 64-bit compiler.

I don't know how you created your fpc_stable_x64\bin\x86_64-win64 directory, but maybe that some utilities have different versions than the ones in the fpc_stable_x32\bin\i386-win32 directory might explain the problems you experience.

Sven

Hi Sven.

I tried to get a ready-made stable version of fpc 3.0.4 x64 in different ways (this could be the Lazarus 2.0.8 installer or fpcupdeluxe). This was not a success.

After your assumptions, I decided to use only the compiler sources from the standard x32 package and the cross-compilation package. As a result, I followed several steps and managed to get a positive result. I have done the following:

1. I ran fpc-3.0.4.i386-win32.exe and
fpc-3.0.4.i386-win32.cross.android.exe and installed the compiler sources and binutils

2. I executed the following commands in cmd:

set path=d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable\3.0.4\bin\i386-win32;%path%

make install OS_TARGET=win64 CPU_TARGET=x86_64 CPU_SOURCE=x86_64 OS_SOURCE=win64 INSTALL_PREFIX=d:\Archive\development\fpc_trunk_x64 PP=d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable\3.0.4\bin\i386-win32\ppcrossx64.exe DATA2INC=d:\Archive\development\fpc_trunk_x64\utils\data2inc.exe

fpcmkcfg -d basepath=d:\Archive\development\fpc_trunk_x64 -o .\bin\x86_64-win64\fpc.cfg

replace d:\Archive\development\fpc_stable\3.0.4\binw64\*.* d:\Archive\development\fpc_trunk_x64\bin\x86_64-win64 /a

3. Congratulation! Now I have a live compiler trunk revision. :)

Do I used the command line switches for the make command correctly? Tell me pls...
