[fpc-devel] Build error on Win32 - SVN Trunk

2011-09-10 Thread Leonardo M . Ramé
Hi, I'm trying to compile the SVN Trunk version using FPC 2.5.1 to bootstrap. 
I'm working on Windows 32 bits.

Usually I just do this:

e:
cd fpc
svn upmake clean all PP=e:\pp\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe
make install

And it worked without problems until today. I do this process once a month.

When I do make clean all PP=e:\pp\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe the compiling 
process starts, and after a while, I get this error message:

process_begin: CreateProcess((null), __missing_command_CMP -i218 ppc3.exe 
ppc386.exe, ...) failed.

Is this a bug?, or I have use another compiler to bootstrap?.

This is wrong. It has always been wrong and will always be wrong. Bootstrapping 
has always only been supported and will always only be supported when starting 
with the latest official release. There was a thread on this list just two days 
ago in which I repeated that again two times:
* http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-devel/2011-September/025951.html
* http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-devel/2011-September/025953.html

 And it worked without problems until today. I do this process once a month.

You have to have the directory with the binaries of a *full install* of the 
latest release in your path for bootstrapping to be supported. Not a snapshot. 
Not a self-compiled version. Not just a compiler binary. The complete install 
of the latest release.
