[fpc-pascal] FPC make all: as.exe not found unless in path
Hi all, Tinkering with my bootstrap SVN updater/installer. Directory layout: c:\development\binutils: as.exe, make.exe etc Got these from http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/tags/release_2_6_0/install/binw32/ c:\development\fpcbootstrap\ppc386.exe from ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/2.6.0/bootstrap/i386-win32-ppc386.zip c:\development\fpc: fpc fixes_2.6 source When I run this command: C:\development\binutils\make.exe FPC=c:\development\fpcbootstrap\ppc386.exe --directory=c:\development\fpc UPXPROG=echo COPYTREE=echo all When I add c:\development\binutils to the path, it does seem to work. How can I solve this, e.g.: 1. Would moving ppc386.exe to the binutils dir help? 2. Can I modify the path on the fly (I recall that will be difficult/impossible to do on Linux/OSX anyway)? 3. Is there some option I can pass to make to let it find the right binutils? 4. Something else I haven't thought about?

Hi all, I've been fiddling with connecting to an SSH server. Thanks to Ludo Brands' help I can use username/password with Synapse (stable)+cryptlib. I'm fiddling and trying to get private key authentication to work. While this compiles and runs, Ethereal shows SSH traffic just stops.. (on a host that requires private key auth).

What does java do in a situation like this? Could we learn from it? The only clean solution I'm aware of is is the one used in old times by PLM, which completely banned the implicit pointer born with C language. If you just have a local string (or data structure), the name must be qualified. If /s/ is a string you must either use /@s/ to indicate the pointer to the string or /s[n]/ to indicate an element of the string. If /b/ is a structure, /b.something/ is valid and/@b/ is valid, but the usage of /s/ or /b/ alone is not allowed. Whenever you're not dealing with local, static data, then you have the based construct, which allows to reserve storage for a pointer, and describes what the pointer points to, providing both strong type checking, and an easy way to dereference when required. Again any ambiguity is impossible. An example of the PLM syntax is: Declare p pointer; Declare s based p (256) Byte; and also, if required, Declare w based p(128) Word; I've implemented an extension of FPC to support the based construct, which I find very useful, to get rid of the c-style p^something, and to make the code more readable and easier to maintain. However I've never submitted my personal patch, because when I proposed it, it didn't rise any interest, and I'm always two steps behind with FPC versions ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

[fpc-pascal] make rpm
Hi, When doing make rpm NOGDB=1 NODOCS=1 in fpcbuild/trunk I get a lot of unpackaged files under OpenSuse 12.1. In other words: it fails to build. Are there some docs about it? Mattias ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
