The make pascal.bindist runs fine with GNU tar. It stops with an error saying that it cannot remove the 'tmp' directory.I find that it is the last statement in the makefile for the above command and so am going to use the .gz that's created.
Right. Though I wonder why it fails to remove the directory. AFAIK, `rm -rf' should work on any Unix-like system. ;-)
I always get the same error on Linux (Mandrake), Solaris2.5.1 and Cygwin. But, since the tarball is created correctly anyway, I have never bothered about this.
I'm hearing this for the first time now and can't reproduce it myself. Does this happen with the current GPC version? Can you provide the make output and error messages?
