I believe you compile FPC on Linux, right?
So, why do you do the same on Windows? It's pretty easy...

FreeBSD only. And yes, I do compile every FPC release under Windows to get a native 64-bit version. But normally I have a starting compiler. On my work system (with no admin rights), I couldn't install the official FPC. But in the end I managed - just had to jump through a couple of hoops.

My commant "Windows just isn't fun." to to Windows in general. Compared to Unix based systems, I can install and do anything in my $HOME directory, but under Windows I can't even run most installers - even though I plan to install to my own profile only.
