You'd better do the same as we did with lnet. Add a fpmake file to
tiOPF/fpGUI's repositories. If that works ok. (Check if fpmake archive
works, and if you can use that archive to install the package, without
any other resources) we can build and add it to the server.
As far as I know, fpGUI has a working fpmake for quite some time. I
even added some usage documentation of fpmake usage too (seeing that I
seem to use non-standard paths). I was just waiting on you guys to
give me the go-ahead on publishing to the server and what is required
from my side. :)
Just tried the 'fpmake archive' command. It failed because fpmake is
hard-coded to look for fpmake.pp when the standard pascal extension is
.pas. So the FPMakePPFile constant needs to be tweaked a bit. My
fpmake file is fpmake.pas, not fpmake.pp
Why does FPC still use .pp anyway? That's from FPC pre v1 days (as far
as I remember, from Florian's history lesson).
Nono. .pp is the official Free Pascal source extension.
We support .pas for Dephi/TP compatibility. The compiler uses .pas because
initially it was compiled using TP.
