Steps to use FPC svn build within Lazarus (Windows)
1 - Have a current Lazarus working binary installed (requires access to
GNU utilitys within the c:\lazarus\fpc\?.?.?\bin\i386-win32 folder)
2 - Set system Path to include c:\lazarus\fpc\?.?.?\bin\i386-win32
3 - Download SVN copy from FPC (http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk)
- save to local folder (eg. c:\FPC)
4 - Build FPC
- cd \FPC
- make clean all
- cd compiler
- make cycle
- cd ..
- make install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\directory\of\your\choice (eg. c:\pp)
- run c:\pp\fpmkcfg.exe (to create fpc.cfg)
5 - edit c:\pp\fpc.cfg to incorporate pathings
- all non-commented lines beginning with '-Fu' and '-FD'
for example
'-Fu/units/$FPCTARGET/' -> -'Fuc:\pp\/units/$FPCTARGET/'
6 - within Lazarus / Enviroment / Environment options
compiler path = c:\pp\fpc.exe
FPC source directory = c:\FPC (as suits your SVN download)
Make path = c:\lazarus\fpc\?.?.?\bin\i386-win32\make.exe
7 - Do FULL clean and build of Lazarus
NOTES -
I believe these steps worked for me, but needs testing.
Are the GNU utilitys available seperately as a group/package, or a list
of necessary files available ?
(this would change Steps 1 & 2 & 6)
Is it possible to have the fpmkcfg.exe program create the pathing within
the cfg file (saves editing) - or did I do something wrong here ?
(this would eliminate Step 5 completely)
If somebody(s) could help / verify all of this, I will add it to the wiki.

If I can use FPC (svn) and compile myself, is there a method /
application which will extract the necessary files from the FPC build
and create a tree structure to suit Lazarus?
Or is there a reference describing how to edit Lazarus pathings to use
the FPC build directly ?
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\directory\of\your\choice
in the environment options, set the compiler path to
c:\directory\of\your\choice\fpc.exe
run c:\directory\of\your\choice\fpmkcfg.exe
Optional: write this down in the wiki for future reference after testing.
