No. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12935 I still think this is a good thing, mostly because this is a way to get versions etc embedded in the program into the binary without going through an includefile processor. so fpc -dfreebsdversion:=`uname -r` and then {$i %freebsdversion%} According to Jonas it can also be done via the environment, and for me that was enough back then (which is why the report is closed). But in retrospect that is fine for commandline, but harder for IDE usage. (which often allows to set additional cmdline options, but not specify the environment, specially not on all targets) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
