I don't understand your setup. Where is startlazarus, where is the original
lazarus,
where is the new lazarus, which of those directories are read-only for you?
Vincent.
Ok, sorry...
/opt/lazarus
This is where I have Lazarus installed and is read/write to me. I'm
the only user in my PC, so don't mind the permissions.
/opt/lazarus/lazarus
/opt/lazaurs/startlazarus
This is normally where these two executables live. I have my
desktop shortcut setup to point to /opt/lazarus/lazarus (or was that
'startlazarus' - I can't remember, I am no on a different PC now).
What is the purpose of 'startlazarus' anyhow?
~/.lazarus/*.xml
This is where my personal settings live. I never knew that! I have
*.xml files in /opt/lazarus/ as well, but see now that there dates are
old, so deleted them. I'm sure lazarus used to store my settings in
/opt/lazarus/ but it doesn't matter.
Scenario 1:
Now on my current PC (main development PC at work), when I rebuild
Lazarus, new executable are created in /opt/lazarus/ and the compiled
units end in /opt/lazarus/units/ directory.
Scenario 2:
At home on my newly installed Lazarus (same SVN version and FPC), I
have the same directory layout. But, when I rebuild Lazarus there, the
new executables end up in ~/.lazarus/units and the compiled .ppu files
end up there as well.
I prefer Scenario 1, as that is what I am used to. So my question is,
how to I tell my computer at home (Scenario 2) that the newly created
executable must end up in /opt/lazarus/ directory?
