I have found the issues (under Win32, gcc-3.4.5 backend sources);
- "@true" causes an error in 'pascal.install' and 'pascal.bindist',
so I have removed it.
The line is now:
echo "pascal.install done" ; @true
Try:
echo "pascal.install done" ; true
that is remove '@' sign. Note: both lines start from a tab.
It does nothing very different compared to removing everything after "echo pascal.install done".
The comment above this line says that the semicolon and 'true' command were added on purpose. I admit that I do not understand which problem this tries to fix, but given that it seems safer to keep it. We had '; @true' in this line for several years and nobody complained about it. Similarely, the fact that you see no problem after removal of it does not mean that it will work fine for everybody after removing it.
