[fpc-devel] "make all install" from trunk fails

[Vsevolod Alekseyev]

I've started with a full release install - that's where c:\FPC\2.6.4 
came from. I have fpcmake under 2.6.4, but it looks like the makefile 
under trunk\rtl insists on using the trunk fpcmake. Which is not being 
built.

Maybe "bootstrap" was a poor choice of word.

Defining FPCMAKE to point at 2.6.4 doesn't change anything; "make 
install" gives the same message.

I did resolve it, however, somehow. Before erroring out, my previous 
make invokations have copied the compiler itself in 2.7.1\bin folder. 
Running "make install" in rtl copied enough of the the RTL into 2.7.1, 
too. Then trunk\packages and trunk\utils built and installed fine.
