[Pkg-pascal-devel] Castle Game Engine 6.4 "fixes" branch for FPC 3.2.0

[Abou Al Montacir]

Hi Michalis,
I just realized that this mail thread waited too long before being answered.I'm
so sorry, as the pas weeks were busy, including holidays.
I just managed to fix a bug in fpcmake and thus get FPC 3.2.0 somehow usable on
Debian, even if Lazarus (2.0.10) is still not compiling yet.
I should come back to castle-engine once Lazarus is uploaded, but this will
probably depend on the reaction of FPC core developers reaction.
