Just tried updating FPC sources and compiling (32 bit) on Windows Vista x64 and got an error and a solution.
======================================================================= Summary: I get an error when I do something like: make.exe install INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Development\Fpc\ "PP=C:\Development\Fpc\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe" but when I leave out the trailing backslash in the INSTALL_PREFIX: make.exe install INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Development\Fpc "PP=C:\Development\Fpc\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe" it works. ======================================================================= Would it be possible to adapt fpmake to accept a directory with a trailing directory separator? Or is the issue in make or somewhere else? It seems more natural to me to specify a directory with such as separator at the end. I had a look at the FreePascal Programmer's manual, Appendix E Using FPCMake (same as fpmake?); it describes the directories, and gives examples without trailing separators, but does not say anything about them being forbidden... Thanks, Reinier ======================================================================= Details: On recent SVN trunk 18151 (using LazUpdater/git though; git commit 71614930203ea050198f). Got an error on make install: "C:\lazarus\fpc\2.5.1\bin\i386-win32\make.exe" install INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Development\Fpc\ "PP=C:\Development\Fpc\bin\i386-win32\fpc.exe" ..... a lot of activity....
