You wrote that you use the source code of FPC 2.6.0 and copied the
"compiler" and "rtl" directories to some other "workplace". I suggest
you to use a SVN checkout of the development version (you can find the
links here: http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var (at "Connect to
Source Repository with SVN")), because than you can more easily revert
back something. Also there were quite a few changes from 2.6.0 to
2.7.1 and thus it's better to work with the most recent source.
I wouldn't suggest to use 2.7 (trunk) as the development base, with
Unicode and other features under development. Once a machine and RTL has
been implemented for 2.6, it should not be so hard to merge it into trunk.
I personally prefer to work in trunk no matter what. This way I can
easily retrieve fixes for problems I encountered while developing my own
feature, target, whatever.
Additionally trunk has become quite stable again (here and there some
hiccups because of the fpmake conversion, but they are usually fixed at
the next day).
I also would suggest git for all experiments, with better branch, merge
and revert capabilites than SVN offers.
Nevertheless the SVN server should be used as a base. I used git-svn
quite successfully when working on generics.
Regards,
Sven
