Rule of thumb, if you use some script or other tool from a repository, you must also use those tools in the version you find in that repository. The only exception is the bootstrap compiler. The trouble is that samplecfg is mostly used to generate fpc.cfg after installing a binary release (be it a debian/RPM/ports package or a binary .tgz). IOW the compiler is globally installed before it is run. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
