4) How does FPC handle different targets? IMO every target is
implemented in a specific executable, so how does pp or fpc proceed when
it is invoked with an target specifier, that it cannot handle itself?
fpc is only a wrapper, it tries to find the right compiler.
Thanks, this was the missing link ;-)
In
the worst case multiple (make and install) steps are required, until the
2.5 sources can be compiled by a 2.4 version - including all the RTL
stuff. Can we get some more version compatibility?
Just install lastest release lazarus and lastest release fpc: to debug
the compiler etc. you can use a compiler compiled with 2.2.4.
2.2.4 cannot compile the 2.5 sources :-(
To test
full builds, just use the 2.4.0 compiler. With some shell or batch
scripts adapted to your needs, this is quite easy.
Finally I could use 2.4 to build and install 2.5 x86_64-win64 :-)
But fpc now complains that it cannot run ppc386.exe - why?
It should be ppcx64, of course, so why does fpc choose the wrong compiler?
