Would it make sense to shorten or remove this Sleep call? Are there any other improvements that can be made with fpmake? Searching for open bugs with fpmake in them gives: 21230 feature (fpmake) Non-mandatory installation of .o files 21868 minor fpmake terminates while clean repo 21991 major Patch to compile from command-line using fpmake 21442 trivial [patch] `make clean` does not clean all files 21880 major Can't build fpc from latest svn. 18321 block fppkg: Package webdesign needs to be rebuild, dependency gecko is modified 20466 trivial MAKE CLEAN do not delete *.DBG files 21418 minor Can't install a cross FPC into the same prefix as regular FPC on Unix. 15222 minor Dummy instead of unix include files are used. 21074 minor Added documentation runmode 19144 minor fpdoc system requires correct order of units on the cmdline 20479 minor 'make distclean' don't clean all .o-files 18151 minor fpmkunit compile example programs 13885 feature Replace "Create Makefile" with "Create fpmake file" I noticed these remarks in 13885 First fpmake must be extended, so that compiling codetools works including passing multiple -d flags. Then fpmake must be extended and/or LCL restructured, so that compiling LCL is possible. After that IDEIntf, SynEdit, IDE should be no problem. Does this situation still apply? Anything I may have missed? If I or somebody else wanted to look into improving fpmake so it could be used more widely, where would I need to look?
