[fpc-pascal] Question regarding building fpc from sources

[Bo Berglund]

I have for many years been building my Linux versions of fpc and lazarus from
sources downloaded first from the svn repository and later from github.
When doing the build on a new Linux system I need a seed compiler for the
platform and I usually get that from earlier builds on other devices.
To simplify things I have made tgz archives of the compilers I have built and
put them on my website so I can then use wget on a new device to download them
into the fpc dir on that platform.

Now there has been a bit of pause in these activities and I am trying to catch
up so I wanted to create the tgz files for two compilers on my latest build
system (a Raspberry Pi4B running 32 bit bookworm OS).

After building 3.2.2 using a compiler I already had in the fpc dir I exctracted
the ppcarm compiler from the compiler directory in the source tree and put it
into a tgz archive.
But amazingly when I tried to locate the output compiler from when I built the
3.2.0 version a week ago it has disappeared!
No trace of it inside the fpc/3.2.0/compiler directory!

The difference from the newly built compiler is that a week ago I also ran the
make install command to put source files etc into a directory below my $HOME
dir. This step is not yet done for 3.2.2

My script does this for the install operations (variables set before of course).
The current dir for the command is at the top of the source tree such as
$HOME/devel/fpc/3.2.0

make install PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/devel/fpc/3.2.0/compiler/$FPCCOMPILER"

rm "$HOME/bin/$FPCCOMPILER"

ln -sf "$HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.0/$FPCCOMPILER" "$HOME/bin/$FPCCOMPILER"

make sourceinstall PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/bin/$FPCCOMPILER"

$HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/samplecfg $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2 $HOME

mv "$HOME/fpc.cfg" "$HOME/.fpc.cfg"

Somewhere in the process above the newly built compiler/ppcarm disappears from
the compiler dir....

Is this what should happen or is it an error?
