E.5 Programs needed to use the generated makefile

At least the following programs are needed by the generated Makefile to function correctly:

cp
a copy program.
date
a program that prints the date.
install
a program to install files.
make
the make program, obviously.
pwd
a program that prints the current working directory.
rm
a program to delete files.
zip
the zip archiver program. (on dos/windows/OS2 systems only)
tar
the tar archiver program (on Unix systems only).

These are standard programs on LINUX systems, with the possible exception of make. For DOS or WINDOWS NT, they can be found in the file makeutil.zip on the Free Pascal FTP site.

The following programs are optionally needed if you use some special targets. Which ones you need are controlled by the settings in the tools section.

cmp
a DOS and WINDOWS NT file comparer.
diff
a file comparer.
ppdep
the ppdep depency lister. Distributed with Free Pascal.
ppufiles
the ppufiles unit file dependency lister. Distributed with Free Pascal.
ppumove
the Free Pascal unit mover.
sed
the sed program.
upx
the UPX executable packer.

All of these can also be found on the Free Pascal FTP site for DOS and WINDOWS NT. ppdep,ppufiles and ppumove are distributed with the Free Pascal compiler.
