I meant specifically that most users should not need to differentiate between options handled by fpc and options handled by ppcXXX. Anyway - if you want to find out options specific to the fpc helper (and/or you don't have a compiled trunk compiler readily available), you can also use: grep -e "^F\*" < fpcsrc/compiler/msg/errore.msg | cut -c3- | sed "s/^1/-/" | sed "s/^2/ -/" | sed "s/_/ /" (again, you need the trunk version of errore.msg as available e.g. from http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/compiler/msg/errore.msg?revision=28152&view=co) That gives the following list: -P<x> Target CPU / compiler related options: -PB Show default compiler binary -PP Show default target cpu -P<x> Set target CPU (arm,i386,m68k,mips,mipsel,powerpc,powerpc64,sparc,x86_64 -V<x> Append '-<x>' to the used compiler binary name (e.g. for version) -Xp<x> First search for the compiler binary in the directory <x> Tomas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
