### 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 L I N U X systems, with the possible exception of make. For D O S or WI N D O W S 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 D O S and WI N D O W S 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 D O S and WI N D O W S NT. ppdep,ppufiles and ppumove are distributed with the Free Pascal compiler.
