compiling the fpc source

(1/2) > >>

Middlecope:
Is there a article that tells me how to compile the fpc source?
All things are done in my home directory
The fpc source is downloaded by SVN and placed in a directory named fpc.
The fpc-2.6.4 is installed with ./install.sh without problem.
How can I compile the fpc compiler and how to replace the old fpc-2.6.4 with the new one?

--- Code: ---export PP=/home/user/fpc-2.6.4/bin/ppcx64
make all
--- End code ---

A lot of output but it is stuck at:

--- Code: ---make[7] Entering directory /home/user/fpc/rtl/linux
as --64 -o /home/user/fpc/rtl/units/x86_64-linux/prtO.o x86_64/prtO.as
make[7] as: Command not found
--- End code ---
Machine openSUSE 13.1
Thanks for your attention!

Blaazen:
Try command:

--- Code: ---$ fpc -iV
--- End code ---
If you have properly installed FPC, it should prompt

--- Code: ---2.6.4
--- End code ---

Go to directory where you downloaded FPC.
Write:

--- Code: ---$ svn update
$ make distclean
$ make all
$ su
***password***
make install
--- End code ---
If everything went w/o errors, go to

--- Code: ---/usr/local/bin
--- End code ---
and change the symlink ppcx64 to path:

--- Code: ---/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.7.1/ppcx64
--- End code ---
Now try again:

--- Code: ---$ fpc -iV
--- End code ---
It should prompt

--- Code: ---2.7.1
--- End code ---

marcov:

--- Code: ---fpc -iTO
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---fpc -iTP
--- End code ---

show resp. the default OS and CPU of the compiler. Useful if you want to see if the correct compiler is chosen set as default.

Thanks
I am working in my home directory so I skipped the "su" command
All the files in ~/fpc_2.6.4/bin were placed in home/usr/bin
fpc -iV gives 2.6.4 fpc -iTO gives linux fpc -iTP gives x86_64
"make distclean" goes without error
Unfortunately the "make all" gives the error mentioned in my first post
Any more ideas?

marcov:
AS is part of the binutils package.  In general, the requirements assume you have a general "build-essentials" or similar package installed that contains binutils-gdb-gcc-make-(g)libc.
