try this command to see which make you are using: which make

Here is the result of whichmake:
panagiotis-sidiropoulos-ibook-g4:/Users/panos/Develop/fpc root# which make
/usr/bin/make
whereis make, also reports same path.

And also try specifying the full path of the make to use the make
provide with Free Pascal binary install.

I could not found any other make except that mentioned earlier.


After a lot of effort on this, decided to follow the other way. Downloaded and installed fpc and lazarus by .dmg files at http:// michael-ep3.physik.uni-halle.de/Lazarus/. All three files downloaded and installed successfully as installer reported. Opening Lazarus from inside X11, I see splash to appear and the a message: "The Free Pascal compiler (filename: ppcppc) was not found. It is recommended that you install fpc".

This file is installed at /usr/local/bin, checked and normally run. I cannot figure why this is not found by Lazarus. It could because of MacOSX way of operating? System's folder are not visible by normal users. Should I open Lazarus as root? How could I do this? Another cause could be a wrong path. Lazarus may search for ppcppc into another path, other than /usr/local/bin. What file should I modify? If it reads system variables what is it? How could I update a system variable permanently?

I know, a lot of questions, but I'm stack on this stage for several days. Any help would be most appreciated. Maybe Vincent could help on this because in his response is mentioning ppcppc compiler: ...Note only the compiler (ppcppc or ppc386) is needed....

Regards, Panagiotis

It looks like you are using the wrong make. Free Pascal with with the
GNU Make. There are various other makes (Borland make, MS make, etc),
and they are incompatible.

try this command to see which make you are using: which make

And also try specifying the full path of the make to use the make

Since I don“t know much about Macs I could be wrong.
