  1. The supported platforms are Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, Windows Mobile and DOS.
  2. Generally you need the latest stable version of the Free Pascal Compiler, which
  3. currently means version 2.4.2. Generally FPC 2.2.4 should also work fine.
  4. - Compiling the library:
  5. Before starting make sure the FPCDIR environment variable is set correctly.
  6. For example: (windows, fpc version 2.4.2, default install dir)
  7. set FPCDIR=c:\fpc\2.4.2
  8. To compile the library type:
  9. fpcmake -r
  10. make
  11. Then you can do:
  12. make examples
  13. And then try to run the programs in the demos/ and examples/ dirs.
  14. If compiling the library fails, make sure you're using the GNU make and not
  15. some other make! (e.g. GNU make is usually called 'gmake' on *BSD)
  16. 'make -v' should report:
  17. GNU Make version x.xx.x, ... etc. :)
  18. On Windows and DOS this is the 'make' that comes with Free Pascal.
