It seems that the IDE compiled without special OPT setting is not stable when you debug a program, but I did not have time to investigate this. > > Another problem was that the install.dat file, > > used by the installer, was out of sync with the current > > sources at release date.

It is only for some zip files that have a different name in the install.dat files than the name of the file created by 'make go32v2zip' for instance. It does not affect the required files. > > I uploaded to ftp.freepascal.org > > under ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/2.2.0a/go32v2 > > separate zip files, with install.exe and install.dat > > files. > > I get "Permission denied". :-( I tried to upload them to test myself and realized that the change that I made in the fpcmake was incorrect and led to wrong zip files (containing the wrong files or with the wrong directory structure). This is explained in the README at beta/2.2.0a/go32v2 level.
