[fpc-devel] Can't run i386-linux tests

[Pierre Muller]

Hi Gareth,

your email is not detailed enough so that we can really help you.

Using a compiler:
TEST_OPT=~/Documents/fpc-opts/compiler/ppc386
as option is certainly not working...

But your error is probably due to an installation issue.

The dotest program will be compiled using your
default Free Pascal installation, and it is highly likely
that your release compiler is not correctly set up.

Are you able to use your release compiler?

If you use a regular user installation, do you have a $HOME/.fpc.cfg present
that will allow the compiler to find the installed units?

Could you send a full log of the failing make command?

Pierre
