How do I compile FPC on kubuntu? I have downloaded FPC using SVN.

What does

$MAKE all OPT='-gl -O3p3'  PP=/path/to/startingcompiler-name-ppc386

mean?

What is startingcompiler-name-ppc386 for Linux? Could anyone give an
example of this?

I have downloaded FPC source using SVN and I do not see ppc386
anywhere there.

The folders structure of in trunk is

Compiler/
ide/
installer/
packages/
rtl/
tests/
utils/
Makefile
Makefile.fpc

You now have the sources. But to be able to compile it you need a
starting compiler. That is one single executable (and not part of the
source)
So you have a chicken and egg problem. IIRC there was a link to
download it from the fpc site, but I cannot find it.
If you want you can try mine:

Hi Marc

Thanks for that.

When I run the command make all opt='-gl -03p3' PP=/home/sandeep/fpc I
get make: execvp: /home/myname/fpc: Permission denied

I have tried running this command with sudo but still get same result.

the file after PP must be the starting compiler executable, not a
directory.

Thanks everyone, I have managed to compile FPC and Lazarus on Kubuntu.
