Sorry. I'm on holiday, and I only check in occasionally at night. Try
changing PP= to FPC=
Thank you, Marco. Now I did already the second successful build of a
older clone after an update. This really was the solution. But what is
the difference between PP= and FPC= ?
As michael says, the make file use both FPC and PP which point
internally to the corresponding binaries (fpc(.exe) and
ppc<arch>(.exe)).
What I think is that the FPC binary found in the path was queried
(and found a ppc<x> binary in the same dir) and overrode your PP=
setting.
BTW, that raises a question whether we shouldn't consider the PP
environment variable within the fpc binary... Obviously, that wouldn't
help immediately to people having an older version of the fpc helper not
supporting this functionality on PATH, but that would change over time.
Just an idea.
Tomas
