I am used to installing FPC/Lazarus on Linux machines from sources via svn. I have created a script that does most of the necessary stuff for this.
Now I want to do the same on Windows7, but I am not really sure how. When I google I get old instructions from the Lazarus 0.9 times, so these are not especially useful. Just one item: make This is a necessary item to be able to build both FPC and Lazarus, yet on my machine the only make utility I find are these: where make C:\Programs\CodeGear\RAD Studio\6.0\bin\make.exe C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\12.0\bin\make.exe C:\Programs\Borland\BDS\4.0\Bin\make.exe C:\Programs\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\make.exe C:\Programs\Borland\Delphi7\Bin\make.exe As you can see there are no less than 5 different make utilities all coming from various installations of Delphi/RAD Studio. Are these OK to use or do I need to get (how?) some other make utility? Maybe a GNU version??? Is there an up-to-date page describing the exact procedure to build FPC and Lazarus from sources retrieved via SVN on Windows? I do have several older versions of Lazarus/fpc installed already (1.6, 1.8, 1.8.4 32 bit) but none seems to put fpc.exe on path. The fpc version for the 1.8.x lazarus is 3.0.4 bundeled with their respective and 1.6 uses fpc 3.0.0. I want to move forward with this and not rely on some binary package if possible. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
