Hi, Short: The default install (e.g. make install and most installers) replaces the ppudump utility, reducing its usefulness. For example when Lazarus should support code navigation without sources it requires a working ppudump.
Hm. ppudump should be backwards compatible ? Or at least, that was the original design ?
Long: When installing a second version of FPC via 'make install' (and most installers) the ppc* binary is put into a versioned path (e.g. under Linux /usr/local/lib/fpc/<fpcversion>/). This allows to easily switch the compiler. OTOH ppudump is installed in a non versioned path (e.g. Linux /usr/local/bin), so installing another FPC version replaces the ppudump binary. I know it is possible to install it under a different path, but most users simply use the default. It would be nice if the default would install a multi version ppudump, for example similar to fpc->ppc*. Any ideas?
This can be done, but not before 3.2... Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
