Hello.
While trying to build FPC from today CVS sources on the BeOS platform (using "make beoszip" from the root directory):
I guess the main problem is that the 1.0.x BeOS rtl contains a lot of patches which aren't merged into 1.9.x sources.
I had to add two paths on the Makefile.fpc (./rtl/beos/) : ---------- [compiler] includedir=$(INC) $(PROCINC) $(UNIXINC) $(RTL)/objpas/classes $(RTL)/ objpas/sysutils ----------
I tried to implement a better solution, commited. Please tell me, if it works.
After a "fpcmake" there... the "make beoszip" goes nicely until it dies saying that "as" can't be found (it list my $PATH, and it _should_ find "as" there).
$PATH doesn't matter, the compiler searches only in the dir where the compiler executable is and in the dirs specified by -FD
Same happens with "sh" and "ar". Dropping symlinks to those binaries one the compiler directory makes it work.
After that, I tried to recompile the RTL with "make rtl smart", and now it does find "ar" (because of the symlink) but fails with "Error: Can't call the linker, switching to external linking". The generated ppas.sh shows a line where the error is evident:
How good does a non smartlinked BeOS version work?
"../../fpc-1.9.1/bin/beos/ar rs ./libpsystem.a ./SYSTEM.sl/system*.o"
As the FS in BeOS is case sensitive, ar fails because all the *.o are in the "./system/" directory, not in "./SYSTEM/".
If I can be of any help on testing fixes/workarounds for this, let me know.
Maybe Peter knows more :)
