| 12 | + | ### Getting sources | |
| 15 | 13 | ||
| 16 | - | ||
| 14 | + | FPC sources are managed using SVN. The most convenient way to get sources in order to build a release is using the svn export command : | |
| 15 | + | ``` | |
| 16 | + | svn export <http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_x_y_z> fpcbuild-x.y.z | |
| 17 | + | ``` | |

| 19 | + | ### Building packages | |
| 19 | 20 | ||
| 20 | - | ||
| 21 | + | The top make file of the fpcbuild-x.y.z branch supports the **deb** target which is intended to build Debian packages from source. | |
| 22 | + | ``` | |
| 23 | + | make deb | |
| 24 | + | ``` | |
| 21 | 25 | ||
| 22 | - | ||
| 26 | + | However, users may want to use their own packeging rules file | |
| 27 | + | ``` | |
| 28 | + | make deb DEBDIR=<some path to debian dir> | |
| 29 | + | ``` | |
| 23 | 30 | ||
| 24 | - | ||
| 31 | + | Or use a particular libgdb version | |
| 32 | + | ``` | |
| 33 | + | make deb GDBLIBDIR=<path/${OS_TARGET}/${CPU_TARGET}> | |
| 34 | + | ``` | |
| 25 | 35 | ||
