What more do you need ?
I'm investigating what Lazarus needs to support to switch fpc versions
more easily. That's why I'm collecting all the possibilities how people
install multiple versions of fpc. I'm puzzled of the amount of different
approaches - I thought two were enough. I wonder if some of them exists
only because the user did not know the alternatives.
I can add my own flavor as well. :D
I have fpc installed in /mnt/data/applications/$FPCVERSION with the usual
dir structure underneath. In ~/.bin I have symlinks for fpc, fpcres,
fpcmake and various ppcXXX. The directory is also in PATH. In ~/.config/fpc
I have various fpc.$FPCVERSION.cfg and ~/.fpc.cfg is a symlink as well. All
these symlinks are updated with a switch-fpc script that gets the version
to symlink to as argument.
For Lazarus switching should work without invoking a script or
changing a file. Only environment variables and parameters.
Since I'm a compiler developer I'm not running purely the IDE as I often
need to "make cycle" the compiler or to "make clean all" a full build.
This approach allows me to easily update the release compiler without
having to think that much about it (except that a new release install
requires a new fpc.cfg).
Regards,
Sven
