Hi, I installed FPC 2.4.0 rc1 from rpm packages for OpenSuse 11.2. I can't install the source package "fpc-2.4.0-0.rc1.src.rpm" though. "rpm -i fpc-2.4.0-0.rc1.src.rpm" or "rpm -i --force fpc-2.4.0-0.rc1.src.rpm" give a warning about user joost and group joost missing and tells it uses root instead. It is a warning, not error, but still the files are not installed. The graphical rpm tools give an error but no explanation for it. Do anyone else have such problems?
Binary package "fpc-2.4.0-0.rc1.i386.rpm" installed fine after ignoring a dependency for libtinfo.so.5. It seems to affect the text IDE only, not the compiler and so is not a problem. One more thing. Page http://www.freepascal.org/develop.var has tells how to get latest development version of FPC from SVN. However it does not tell how to compile it. ./compiler/README.txt tells to read "programmers manual" which is not included. Now I am running "make all" at the source root dir. It is compiling already a long time. Is it the right way?
