Installing Lazarus/FPC from CVS.
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hi.

I have tried to install Lazarus (on Fedora2) after downloading via
CVS.

I have the following directories:

/programs/fpclaz/fpc
/programs/fpzlaz/lazarus

I have no problem with checking out and opdating.

Doing make clean, and make install of the FPC seems to work without
any errors.

Then I change to the lazarus directory and try to run make (or make
all), but every times it stops with the message:

Fatal: Can't find unit System

The ppc386 is in the path (othervise I could not compile fpc).

As far as I understand I need to have a fpc.cfg in either etc or my
home directory, but it is not generated automatically.
Trying to find an other fpc.cfg (from a previous, now deleted
installation) and modifying it, to reflect my directories make no
change

I do not want to use RPM installation, as I prefer the files to end
where I have chosen, and I do only want the installation to be for 1
user (me).

Please anybody, any good ideas.

Christian

It looks like an old version of fpc is still used
What is the version reported by ppc386 -i
Is your /usr/bin/ppc386 pointing to the right version (or
/usr/local/bin)

It is version 1.9.5

Actually I have it in a directory under /programs, but the path points
to this directory, so this should not be the reason.
