That's correct. That's why it should be provided on the command-line.

fpcmkcfg only shows the values of all defined macro's. For example, try
'fpcmkcfg -d foo=jojo -m'.

As an end user howvere I do not even know that such a thing like
BASEPATH can be set at all.
The only way to know is to study the sourcecode (fpccfg.inc).
IMO to should show all macro's it uses, even if it is empty: eg.:
BASEPATH=

Fpcmkcfg can not know what macro's are used in a template? (You can also use your own template)

Yeah, it could parse the template. But it's just a simple tool.

LOCALBASEPATH=$LOCAL_APPDATA\FreePascal\fppkg   //odd name for fppkg
specific folder?

It's being used for ages... You mean the 'FreePascal' part?

I meant that LOCALFPPKGBASEPATH  would have made more sense to me.
LOCALBASEPATH to me suggests what BASEPATH seems to be...
(I really hop I make myself clear.)

You mean that it is strange, because in the fpc.cfg template the same name is used for the fpc-prefix. While here it is used as fppkg prefix?

Well, in fpc.cfg -> fpc prefix, in fppkg.cfg -> fppkg prefix. I can live with that.

Joost.
