Hi,
I normally don't add FPC bin directory to my PATH environment variable,
because I use multiple versions of FPC.
But around the time FPC 2.4.0 was released, Lazarus IDE cannot find fpcres
when I rebuild the IDE. So I have to open a command prompt, set the PATH
environment variable, and then run Lazarus IDE and rebuild it from inside
the command prompt.
Why can't Lazarus IDE find the 'fpcres' program in the same directory
location as the specified ppcXXX FPC compiler?
Here are the last few lines of build messages when I try and build Lazarus
IDE from a desktop icon.

The various locations of programs on my system.
Lazarus
/opt/lazarus/
^--- is a directory symlink from /opt/git/lazarus_argon
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)/bin/ppcXXX
^-- 32 & 64 bit directories, and Win32 cross-compiler
eg:
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/x86_64-linux/bin/*
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/i386-linux/bin/*
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/i386-win32/bin/*
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/cross_i386-win32/bin/*
/opt/fpc_2.2.5/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS)/bin/ppcXXX
^-- 32 & 64 bit directories, and Win32 cross-compiler
same layout as FPC 2.4.1 directory.
Currently my Lazarus IDE is setup to use the following compiler:
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/x86_64-linux/bin/ppcx64
So surely based on that compiler location, the IDE can find 'fpcres' inside
/opt/fpc_2.4.1/x86_64-linux/bin/ without the need of the PATH environment
variable set?
