[fpc-devel] FP IDE fails to compile under FreeBSD 9.0

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I'm busy setting up a new development system using FreeBSD 9.0
(32-bit) on i386 hardware. I downloaded the FPC 2.6.0 binary release
for FreeBSD 8.0, which works fine. But due to the thread / semaphore
bug in FPC 2.6.0 (no threaded apps can run) I am forced to use FPC
2.7.1

Anyway, I checked out the latest code from trunk, and while doing a
'gmake all', the compilation failed on FP IDE.

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

Looking closer at the command line to compile fp.pas, it is missing
unit paths to...
  fcl-base
  fcl-xml
...both required by the CHM units.

I guess there must be an outdated Makefile or something in Trunk, for FreeBSD.

Just thought I would mention it.
