[fpc-devel] Unable to build FPC from source, any ideas?

[Paul Michell]

I've been updating my FPC 2.2.1 from SVN for some time, but my batch file has 
started failing (since last Sunday I think?) It appears to be nolonger able 
to build the initial compiler? I'm working on Windows XP and using 2.2.0 as a 
seed compiler.

make cycle from the compiler folder gives:

....

Compiling nflw.pas
Compiling optunrol.pas
Compiling nflw.pas
nflw.pas(1248,44) Error: Can't take the address of constant expressions
nflw.pas(1249,45) Error: Can't take the address of constant expressions

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it?

Thanks,
