The use case described is not what is meant by "fails to build from source". That justification is only meant for the case where the Debian package itself fails to build. >> Complaint on fpc-source as packaged. Download from freepascal.org >> does not have this problem.

If you want to have the source for compilation, you should "apt-get source fpc" (as you should with ALL Debian packages if you want the source) instead of using the fpc-source package and run "debian/rules make-files" before calling make. As described in the description of the package: "It is meant to be used by the Lazarus IDE." >> As packaged the Makefiles are missing. This is intentional. >> As such this command fails(but should succeed) Yes, but indeed it is not meant to succeed. Paul
