  1. The supported platforms are Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, Windows Mobile and 32-bit
  2. DOS (go32v2).
  3. Generally you need the latest stable version of the Free Pascal Compiler, which
  4. currently means version 3.0.4. Note that Windows 95/98/ME and NT 4.0 are still
  5. supported, when this library is compiled with FPC 2.6.4. However, using
  6. FPC 2.6.4 isn't guaranteed to work for any other platforms, besides Windows.
  7. - Compiling the library:
  8. Before starting make sure the FPCDIR environment variable is set correctly.
  9. For example: (windows, fpc version 3.0.4, default install dir)
  10. set FPCDIR=c:\fpc\3.0.4
  11. To compile the library type:
  12. fpcmake -r
  13. make
  14. Then you can do:
  15. make examples
  16. And then try to run the programs in the demos/ and examples/ dirs.
  17. If compiling the library fails, make sure you're using the GNU make and not
  18. some other make! (e.g. GNU make is usually called 'gmake' on *BSD)
  19. 'make -v' should report:
  20. GNU Make version x.xx.x, ... etc. :)
  21. On Windows and DOS this is the 'make' that comes with Free Pascal.
