A bit cleaner (IMHO) Install a snapshot, with the desired FPC version, copy the fpc to a separate location. (Update the fpc.cfg file in the bin directory, so it has the new path info) - if you update fpc later, keep your fpc.cfg file Now check out Lazarus from SVN, copy the existing lazarus.exe, into your checkout. - Create a windows-shortcut, and edit the properties. Add a --primary-config-path (or -pcp) to the command line (so it doesn't interfere with any other install, it is much easier to create a new config once, than to sort the mess you get if 2 installations try to use the same config) - Start this lazarus, edit the config to point to your fpc - compile lazarus from the menu, and restart it Whatever you do, make sure you have no spaces in the path. _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
