OK, I did not think that make clean should need the compiler in the
first place since all it would do is erase all previous compilation
artifacts. So I did not add the command line switch FPC. Why need the
compiler to erase files???

Well my read is that 3.0.0 should be used for *all* 3.x builds...
And I had symlinked the 3.0.0 version of ppcx64 into ~/bin, but I had
some problems making that work too.
After I compiled 3.0.4 I change the symlink to point to the new
version 3.0.4

Adding FPC=~/bin/ppcx64 as a command line argument to make fixed it
all.

Maybe I should recompile 3.0.4 with itself in true Wirth spirit?

Hi,

What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?
Does it need to be fixed?



This works for me the last 3 years :

  make clean FPC=\ppc executable you'll use.


PS: AFAIK, you need to use the previous version official compiler to 
build the sources. Meaning for 3.0.4 sources you'll need 3.0.2 and not 
3.0.0. At least this is what I do to avoid to use the override 
directive.
