I started to learn about RPM packages after all. I didn't know how make them but learned some basics, too. It actually makes sense to install programs through RPM even locally because then they can be easily uninstalled. So, I followed README.txt in lazarus/tools/install. It says: $ cd <lazarus_directory>/tools/install $ ./create_fpc_rpm.sh nodocs /path/to/your/fpc/sources/fpc It worked and compiled the whole FPC and created packages. However, it also created an src package (fpc-src-2.5.1-091119.i586.rpm). Does it mean that the next command is not needed: $ ./create_fpc-src_rpm.sh /path/to/your/fpc/sources/fpc How can I test installing it to a temporary place? It would be easier to spot any errors.
