FPC versions.


Graeme thanks for the info!
Since I am not doing any fpc or lazarus development I guess I don't really need
all of that..

My .fpc.cfg file also has the $fpcversion everywhere in the paths so I guess
that unless a new version of fpc adds extra stuff into the file I don't really
need to modify the .fpc.cfg file when installing a new fpc release?


No, you don't. I think my fpc.cfg has not changed in many many years.

Michael.

I have symlinked the compiler as follows:
ll ~/bin/pp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 bosse bosse  32 2020-04-10 21:25 bin/ppcx64 ->
/home/bosse/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64

I guess this is not really optimal if I want to use the 3.2.0 compiler?
How do you manage different versions of the compiler in Lazarus?
Right now Lazarus only finds the ~/bin/ppcx64 linked file...

This I think was set up when I initíally installed Lazarus 2.0.8 on this Ubuntu
Mate 18.04 machine (in the dialog that pops up on first start of a fresh
Lazarus).
I think the dialog might be possible to bring up again from inside Lazarus but I
fail to find from where in the menus...

Graeme thanks for the info!
Since I am not doing any fpc or lazarus development I guess I don't really need
all of that..

My .fpc.cfg file also has the $fpcversion everywhere in the paths so I guess
that unless a new version of fpc adds extra stuff into the file I don't really
need to modify the .fpc.cfg file when installing a new fpc release?

In that case I will add a note in my script file (I use it on Linux platforms to
install from sources) to the effect that this is only needed for a first install
on any given device.

BTW, my installs sit in:
fpc: $HOME/dev/fpc/$fpcversion
lazarus: $HOME/dev/lazarus/$lazversion

And the support files go into $HOME/lib/fpc/ and $HOME/share
