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

[Vsevolod Alekseyev]

Hi all,

I'm tryng to build the latest FPC trunk on x86/Win32 (under 64-bit 
Windows 8, not that it should matter). I have FPC 2.6.4 as a bootstrap 
in c:\FPC\2.6.4. The PATH contains c:\FPC\2.6.4\bin\i386-win32. The 
source tree is in c:\FPC\trunk.

Here's what I'm doing:

c:\fpc\trunk> make all install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\FPC\2.7.1

Here's the error I'm getting:

make[4]: Entering directory `C:/FPC/trunk/rtl/win32'
make[4]: Leaving directory `C:/FPC/trunk/rtl/win32'
C:/FPC/trunk/utils/fpcm/bin/i386-win32/fpcmake.exe -p -Ti386-win32 
Makefile.fpc
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), 
C:/FPC/trunk/utils/fpcm/bin/i386-win32/fpcm
ake.exe -p -Ti386-win32 Makefile.fpc, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

Indeed, there's no utils\fpcm\bin. Looks like "make all" doesn't build 
fpcmake, and yet subsequent actions depend on it.

Trying to build fpcmake alone with the bootstrap compiler fails; 
specifically, buillding packages\fpmakeunit errors out.

Please, what am I doing wrong?
