So by default you can not have one fpc.cfg per fpc version.
I played with this in 1.9.2 times iirc. IIRC the principle was developed for cases where every version installed into a prefix with make INSTALL INSTALL_PREFIX=~/somethingversion. (so that you also had multiple bin directories and everything was fully separated). fpc -V also is from that time. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
