[fpc-pascal] Just out of curiosity: Compiling FPC trunk and fpcmake

[Victor Campillo]

Hi,

For years I have been using the same script to compile FPC, I have 
multiple version of FPC installed in the same machine, mainly my script do:

make -j 9 clean all

make -j 9 all install FPMAKEOPT="-T 9" 
INSTALL_PREFIX=.../fpclazarus/fpc/cmp/3.3.1 OPT="-O- -O1 -gl" 
PP=.../fpclazarus/fpc/lib/3.2.2/ppcx64

I have been a few months without compiling FPC trunk, but when I tried 
it today, I got the next message after calling "make -j 9 clean all"

> make: -iVSPTPSOTO: Command not found
> Makefile:235: *** The Makefile doesn't support target -, please run 
> fpcmake first.  Stop.

I just run fpcmake before call "make clean all" and "make -j 9 all 
install", and everything works as expected.

My question is, until now I have never needed to call fpcmake before 
compiling trunk, it is a requirement now to execute fpcmake or there is 
something wrong in my side?

My system is Xubuntu Linux x86_64.

Thanks.

Best Regards.
