> I will send an email when the files are ready. The beta testing files for Dos 2.2.0a are downloadable from
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/2.2.0a/go32v2 Please report any problems encountered during installation or use of this beta. Pierre Muller Content of README file: This directory will be used to test the modifications inserted to the 2.2.0 sources in order to be able to generate a valid Dos distribution. The sources are in the svn repository under the branch fixes_2_2_0_dos. Due to some instabilities with the dos executables created with default settings, this test version was compiled with OPT set to "-gl -O- -dDEBUG", together with UPXPROG set to "echo". This leads to the generations of programs that have debugging information included (which are of course much bigger in size), the setting of UPXPROG to "echo" prevents copression by upx which would otherwise also lead to the removal of debugging information. As indicated by the BETA subdirectory, this is NOT a release, but just a test version, that will be overwritten in case some problems are detected and fixed while testing. Feedback on problems when trying to install the beta distribution should go to fpc-devel mailing list. If you want to try to install this distribution onto a Dos machine without LFN support, you should try to download the files in shortsep subdirectory. If you want to install the beta distribution on a system that supports LFN, please use the files in separate subdirectory. A very helpful test would be to try to completely rebuild the distribution from the sources provided. Try to unzip all sources, and launch a 'make build OPT="-gl -O- -dDEBUG' at source level.
