Hi,
I'm using a Win2000, and have a released FPC 2.6.0 installed. I updated
my FPC 2.6.1 to r23533 (latest revision to date). I run by usual
build.bat script (shown below). FPC, RTL and FCL seems to compile fine,
but the 'make install ...' seems to fail. I've never had such issues
before. It seems like the Makefile is broken, if you look at the odd
directory it tried to create.
Anybody else experiencing this, or have a solution?

make distclean
make all FPC=c:\FPC\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\fpc\2.6.1\
FPC=c:\FPC\2.6.0\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe

--unitinstalldir=c:\fpc\2.6.1\/units/i386-win32/fcl
-web
Installing package fcl-web
The installer encountered the following error:
Failed to create directory "C:\fpc\2.6.1
--unitinstalldir=c:\fpc\2.6.1\\units\i3
86-win32\fcl-web\units\i386-win32\fcl-web\"
Looks like using a backslash at the end of INSTALL_PREFIX=xxx argument
quotes the following space, and so the whole thing becomes glued
"C:\fpc\2.6.1" + space + "--unitinstalldir=...".
Do not use a final backslash, like
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\fpc\2.6.1
and things should be Ok. It would probably be even cleaner to use
slashes everywhere:
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:/fpc/2.6.1
Disclaimer: I didn't actually test this (not sitting on Windows right
now), just guessing :)
