### 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 / OS/2 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, Windows NT or OS/2 / eComStation, they are distributed as part of Free Pascal releases.

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 dependency lister. Distributed with Free Pascal.
ppumove
  The Free Pascal unit mover.
upx
  The UPX executable packer.

All of these can also be found on the Free Pascal FTP site for dos and Windows NT. ppdep and ppumove are distributed with the Free Pascal compiler.
