Hey,

im currently trying to install FPC on Arch from source (git).

Installed git + fpc (pacman)Cloned from
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/sourceIn source, i first run
fpcmake once, then make install, also tried something like "sudo make
install OS_TARGET=linux CPU_TARGET=x86_64 INSTALL_PREFIX=dtpfl

No errors.
But in this case generated folders like dtpfl/bin and dtpfl/lib in are
all empty.

Am i missing something?

Thanks!

You don't need to run fpcmake.

And the usual approach is:

Code: [Select]make all -j <N>
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/absolute/path/to/target -j <N>
(where <N> is the number of processors cores)

You don't need to specify OS_TARGET and CPU_TARGET if your desired
targets match the ones of your bootstrap compiler.
