And I did not check out the directories you mentioned thoroughly, as they indeed are in /home. So what you are saying is correct. However if you install FPC official release through Debian packages, you're pretty much stuck with an FPC installation in the root folder (which needs root privileges to be rebuilt). Correct, but after some times you are comfortable with compiling multiple versions from sources/subversion and you can get rid off of your linux distribution Lazarus package, so this not a problem anymore.

Re: [Lazarus] Dual installation of FPC
Le 23/10/2010 20:44, patspiper a écrit : Fair enough. But how do you go by defining the paths? As far as I understand, the following two paths should be in the $PATH env variable: basedir/lib/fpc/$FPCVERSION basedir/bin or in your case: /home/thierrybo/Sys/local/opt/fpc/$FPCVERSION/lib/fpc/$FPCVERSION /home/thierrybo/Sys/local/opt/fpc/$FPCVERSION/bin This is only needed if you build programs with freepascal, without Lazarus. If you use Lazarus to build all your freepascal programs, you only need to tell lazarus which freepascal compiler to use in environment options (compiler path). When this compiler run, it will find correct library with the above paths in ~/.fpc.cfg, as $FPCVERSION will be replaced with 2.5.1 or 2.4.3 for example.

Argl, you are right to insist. After each freepascal build from source,
, you have to link fpcres as I did AND link
/fpc/X.X.X/lib/fpc/X.X.X/ppcXXX to /fpc/X.X.X/bin/ppcXXX (although I did
only once for fpcres).
