Hi,
how do you recompile fpc after making a small change in the compiler, like
enabling the debugmsg define in x86/aoptx86.pas?

make buildbase says nothing was changed, and make clean; make buildbase
recompiles not just the compiler, but also the rtl, which is a waste of
time.


Build it in the Lazarus IDE using the corresponding project for your
platform (this will result in a compiler/<platform>/pp(.exe) binary).
Other than that "make cycle" inside the compiler directory *is* the
recommended way to rebuild the compiler even if it rebuilds both the
compiler and the RTL multiple times.

Regards,
Sven
