This is just a compressed installation: if you expand everything into directory /your/base/dir then adding /your/base/dir/bin to PATH environment variable should allow you to use this installation.
However, there are indeed at least two known problems: 1) The missing symbolic link between bin/ppcCPU to ../lib/fpc/$FPCVERSION/ppcCPU where CPU is etiher mips or mpisel in our case. I don't know if this is just a limitation of tar or something that could easily be added... 2) A basic fpc.cfg file that gets read by the ppcCPU binary to find the installed ppu and object files. I have a .fpc.cfg file in my HOME directory which contains -Fu/home/pierre/pas/fpc-$fpcversion/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/* This is enough to find all installed ppu and object files as long as you install all your different Free Pascal versions into $HOME/fpc-$fpcversion $fpcversion is simply the output of a 'ppcCPU -iV' call. If you want to know where you could put a configuration file (if you prefer to have a different for each version for example) a good way is to use 'ppcCPU -va' which will output a lot of information, but look for lines containing "Configfile" After those simple operations, you should be able to recompile the whole trunk SVN checkout!
