When building/installing multiple versions of the compiler and libraries
on unix (Linux/Solaris), is there an easy way of putting the fpc utility
etc. in a version-specific directory (e.g. /usr/local/bin/fpc-x.y.z) but
keeping the backend in the usual /usr/local/lib/fpc/x.y.z tree?
In part this leads on from a discussion in the Lazarus ML in early
February where the -V option was highlighted. However the specific
reason I ask is that a few months ago I was playing with the help
generation utilities to see if I could extract what version of the
compiler first supported given features, and found various problems
which I put down to trying to handle older files with newer utilities.
I'm currently rebuilding one of my development systems and thought this
would be a good time to experiment with alternative layouts.
