Anyone tried to compile Free Pascal Compiler on openSUSE? It's on the whishlist ( http://www.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Productivity#F ), added by somebody else, but I need it as well. I wanted to compile it. They have source rpm as well ( http://www.freepascal.org/download.html ). Just one little problem: fpc is required to compile itself ;-) Would be nice, if somebody solved this 'catch 22' for 10.1! Bye,
there is no way to bootstrap fpc? just like GCC?
Binaries of FPC are available. But I could not build FPC from source RPMs using these binaries, and I can't imagine, how this could be used with y2pmbuild, which prepares a clean environment from RPMs. Bye, CzP
