[Lazarus] Lazarus FPC 2.5.1

[Justin Smyth]

Flávio

I'll continue to look & search , i've been successfull in rebuilding the FPC 
( we i assume so , the source file in the source directory of the FPC has 
been changed and i can see that the new fpc.exe has been build so one would 
assume that part is done )

Its on a windows box i'm doing this not Linux ( theres no linux counterpart 
for ipersist as this is microsoft com object for windows).

I'm only asking on this thread since i'm sure the update for executable for 
fpc is ok ( i move it into my lazarus fpc directory where it exists - only 
the executable )

Its the rebuilding of using make for lazarus i'm not sure about , i'm 
following some directions i've been given but lazarus acts like the change 
in the RTL hasnt been done.

Maybe i'm doing something wrong , in getting the updated fpc ? thats why i 
am asking ...

This has been asked (and answered) on the list a few times.
If you're using Linux I have a sample script ;)  Otherwise, you may
look at the FPC build FAQ (manual?) or google for the previous
messages.
Also, you may have better luck asking in the FPC-devel list about the
GetClassID bug.

Best regards,
Flávio
