[lazarus] On my way to compile lazarus

[Didier Gasser-Morlay]

Brad, 

Thanks for your answer but this raises two questions
1. coud I have a look at your ppc386.cfg file
2. How can I get away with the compiler not being generated 
(Make[3] (compiling pp.pas)
text.inc (100,1) invalid PPU_file entry : 14)

Thanks 
Didier
