Why do you insist that it must be done in another way?
Why can you simpy use the mechanismes we have provided for just that?
If you don want a shortcut (why???) then just start it from the
console (as i do with lazarus fixes branch).
Ok. One simple reason I dont like to make shortcut with custom
parameter with my apps and one good reason for that is, Windows
Taskbar that you can pin apps dont accept parameters so if you pin you
Lazarus that runs with parameters and next time click on icon on
taskbar it will open but keep another shortcut on Taskabr.
It is annoying for someone likes me that like to keep my stuff organized.
Second reason is Im curious, everytime I saw shortcut way for running
multiple reason and it seems there is a better reason out there and Im
a programmer I like to find a better way and when I cant I ask from
others.
Originally I should ask @Anthony about his works but it seems he
refuse answering or supporting about his works so I ask here for
future needs of others like me.
That is what the lazarus.cfg file is for.
Instead of supplying the parameters fer --pcp, you put them into the cfg
file.
lazarus.exe, when started, looks for a lazarus.cfg file in the same
folder as the exe. If found it adds the content to its command line
params. (one per line).
so if you have
c:\lazarus installation of 1.6, should use config in the default location
c:\laz_trunk needs different config
then you add
c:\laz_trunk\lazarus.cfg
with the --pcp param you need.
And with that you can start c:\laz_trunk\lazarus.exe anyway you want, it
will use the pcp given in the cfg file.
