Hi,

I tried to install snapshot debs into Puppy Linux 4.3.1.
Apparently, everything is installed, but when I try
#make clean all
Makefile:198:***The Makefile doesn't support target can't
execeuted,,please run fpcmake first. Stop.

What does it mean?

Usually it means that the makefile can't find fpc or ppc386.
Try to see if

which fpc

and

which ppc386

return the place of the compiler, and check with

fpc -i

and

ppc386 -i

if the versions are what you expect.

#which fpc
/usr/bin/fpc
#which ppc386
nothing is returned, but I know it is placed in /usr/lib/fpc/2.2.4

So, it seems ppc386 can't be found by makefile.

What am I supposed to do now (I am not very familiar with Linux)?
