[fpc-devel] Can't build 1.9.8

Why is the debian diff for 1.9.6 so big? It looks like it contains the
same files that are also available in install/doc and install/debian in
the original fpc sources and in cvs.

If you want to get a tar.gz.orig file you can use 'make debtargz' in the
top dir of FPC.


> 1.9.8.  However, by the time I try to compile the RTL, I get makefile
> errors which I didn't with 1.9.6.  Here's the relevant output:
> `/home/claviola/code/debian/packages/freepascal/fpc/build/fpc-1.9.8/rtl/linux'
> /usr/bin/fpcmake -p -Ti386-linux Makefile.fpc
> Processing Makefile.fpc
> Error: No targets set
> make[3]: *** [fpc_install] Error 1
