If you don't have fpc installed in the default locations

I have it install in /opt/fpc/
See below for details...
The /etc/fpc.cfg and ~/.fpc.cfg are for the standalone compiler only and will
not be used for
package building. fpmake and fppkg have their own configuration files where
optimizer/debug
options will be passed to the compiler.
Then why does fpmake mention fpc.cfg in it's help output.
<snip>
Where options is one or more of the following:
-h --help This message.
-l --list-commands list commands instead of actually executing them.
-n --nofpccfg Compiler will not use fpc.cfg
-v --verbose Be verbose when working.
<snip>
It would make sense for the build system to use the global or user's
fpc.cfg file. After all, I can compile any application from the command
line by simply typing 'fpc <simpleproject.pas>'
Anyway, here are my attempts at helping fpmake along...
Attempt #1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ export FPCDIR=/opt/fpc/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ ./fpmake build -l -v
The installer encountered the following error:
Could not find unit directory for dependency package "rtl"
Attempt #2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ export FPCDIR=/opt/fpc/bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ ./fpmake build -l -v
The installer encountered the following error:
Could not find unit directory for dependency package "rtl"
... and then finally ....
Attempt #3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ export FPCDIR=/opt/fpc/lib/fpc/2.2.1/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ ./fpmake build -l -v
Warning: Source file "mydialer" not found for i386-linux
Compiling package MyPackage
Creating output dir "units/i386-linux"

Executing command "/opt/fpc/bin/fpc -Tlinux -FUunits/i386-linux
-Fu/opt/fpc/lib/fpc/2.2.1/units/i386-linux/rtl "
/opt/fpc/bin/fpc -Tlinux -FUunits/i386-linux
-Fu/opt/fpc/lib/fpc/2.2.1/units/i386-linux/rtl
OK, so with that looking good, I tried the build for real without the
'-l' parameter.
Attempt #4
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dialer$ ./fpmake build -v

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.1 [2008/04/21] for i386

Fatal: No source file name in command line
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /opt/fpc_2.2.1/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if
you did not specify a source file to be compiled)
The installer encountered the following error:
External command "/opt/fpc/bin/fpc" failed with exit code 1
Makefile's was so much easier! :)
Or my custom method using in fpGUI:
fpc @extrafpc.cfg <project.pas>
