TYou are confusing fpcmake and fpmake. The question was about fpcmake
and that is indeed pretty difficult. I woudn't use its anymore and go
for the new fpmake-system.

But fpmake is still experimental and there's no real documentation
available. So I doubt that you read it at all. ;)

But your short introduction to fpmake is quite good.

Oops, my apologies. I did not realize it was the one spelt with a 'c'.   :-)

Hi Guillermo,

I struggled with it as well. Henry Vermaak then created an example for
me and showed how to use it. The example he did was for the fpGUI
Toolkit project.

Usage:
  - Compile fpmake.pas as follows:
 fpc fpmake.pas

  - To find out more about what fpmake can do and see some help
 fpmake --help

  - Build and install fpGUI
 fpmake install

Note that if you installed FPC in a non-standard location on you
system you need to tell fpmake which compiler and units to use. The
following is all in one line:
 fpmake.exe -r c:\fpc\2.2.3\bin\i386-win32\ppc386.exe
-UG c:\fpc\2.2.3\units\i386-win32
  or
 ./fpmake -v build -UG /opt/fpc/lib/fpc/2.2.3/units/i386-linux/


To view the actual fpmake.pas file, you can check-out fpGUI from
SourceForge, or view the specific file via the following url.

http://fpgui.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=fpgui;a=blob;f=src/fpmake.pas;h=80e0be3d69132ae12b2c4c970fe29e14c500cb14;hb=67f8fcc69fec98c12d2dac11980ed97d12d380c6

If you have problems with the full URL, you can also use this one:
