I don't know FHS, but what I do for the FPC *BSD ports: $PREFIX/share is for anything not OS/architecture dependant. So also the docs should be there, examples etc. This is a general Unix convention btw, not just BSD. Under BSD I create $PREFIX/share/fpc/src/ and then put the entire FIXES_1_0_0 tree there. Then doc in $PREFIX/share/fpc/doc examples in $PREFIX/share/fpc/examples etc. Does FHS still stuff doc in $PREFIX/doc ? If not, then it probably belongs in share/ too under Linux. $PREFIX= /usr when the package is in the base systems (IOW it is always installed, things like gcc) $PREFIX=/usr/local under FreeBSD and OpenBSD, (and NetBSD if not installed via NetBSD's own installation system, NetBSD package systems uses /usr/pkg) The Slackware distro is also pretty close to this layout. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
