Hi,
how do you recompile fpc after making a small change in the
compiler, like enabling the debugmsg define in x86/aoptx86.pas?
make buildbase says nothing was changed, and make clean; make
buildbase recompiles not just the compiler, but also the rtl,
which is a waste of time.
Build it in the Lazarus IDE using the corresponding project for your
platform (this will result in a compiler/<platform>/pp(.exe) binary).
Other than that "make cycle" inside the compiler directory *is* the
recommended way to rebuild the compiler even if it rebuilds both the
compiler and the RTL multiple times.
I only extend: don't forget you can use the "Run Parameters" dialog to
debug the modified compiler with a sample PAS program.
