[fpc-devel] RTL development cycle

[luiz americo pereira camara]

Hi,

Until now, when i make changes to RTL units in trunk, i take two pathes to
test and compile:

1) If the unit is self contained, i go to source directory and compile
directly
2) If the unit is a dependency of other RTL parts, i rebuild all the
compiler and RTL

I tried improve this cycle.

So after i changed the file fpexprpars, i run "make all" in the fpc source
root dir. Nothing happens

I went to \packages\fcl-base dir and run make PP="my271compilerpath" and i
got:

Start compiling package fcl-base for target i386-win32.
       Compiling BuildUnit_fcl_base.pp
[100%] Compiled package fcl-base

But fpexprpars is not recompiled

Is there any better way to compile and test changes in the RTL?
