Lazarus trunk now requires fpc 2.4.0

[Paul Ishenin]

I wrote a mail to the mail list some days ago that we are require fpc 2.4.0 or higher to compile lazarus from the svn trunk but some people are not subscribed and still don't know.

If you see some problem regards unit 'resource' which is now required by IDE then know you are using some older compiler than we need. Please switch to fpc 2.4.0 or fpc trunk (if you like hot features ).

Is there any particular reason why there are Linux fpc-2.4.x rpm, but not deb, packages available for download in the Lazarus directory on the ftp server? Thanks.

Has already someone created a binary package of a fpc 2.4.0 linux->win32 crosscompiler?
For 2.2.4 there was one in the Lazarus downloads...

Synapse library work with FPC 2.4.0 ?

I looked LNet library but I don't think it work cause, I found my_function(const a) ;

Could we replace FPC 2.2.4 on Lazarus 0.98.2 by FPC 2.4.0 ? Somebody have tested ?

Actually I would prefer to install an binary package of fpc instead compiling it from source, but nevermind
