After every full release I extract the starting compiler and rename it to ppcrel and put it in the path. That way I can always cycle by adding FPC=ppcrel. Having a fixed name for the starting compiler helps. The download wary can use the bootstrap compiles from ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.4.0/bootstrap/ (thought they are more meant for automated build systems like FreeBSD ports) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
