I think that won't work for cross compilation. It returns the
targetos where fpmake s running, not the targetos you want to
compile too.

I believe I found a better solution to the problem. In fprepos.pp two
function OSToString and CPUToString are defined.
So a string ./units/$(CPU_TARGET)-$(OS_TARGET)
would be represented as './units/' + CPUToString(Defaults.CPU) + '-' +
OSToString(Defaults.OS)

I was doing some tests with fpmake and came across what appears to be an
inconsistency.
When fpmaking a program a units/cpu-os is created but the commandline
parameters for FPC are -FE. which causes the tool and possible other
units to be placed in the directory where the program is located.
Daniel had mentioned your work in a community post. Thanks for the effort,
and I'd love to try it out. And thanks for that detailed post.

Hi,
I wonder how can we make Pascal and FPC more attractive to people, and
I believe in what Donal Knuth have said:
The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A

I think it will have very little effect. Just look at D: it's a lot

non-offensive name, it's quite

Here is a suggestion:

Like the animal on the website.
Puma's are fast.
And that's a big adventage of Pascal/Delphi it compiles lightning fast
compared to C/C++ crap.

Well there are some things ofcourse wrong with Free Pascal:
1. First the name:

Bussiness people don't believe in Free.
2. Free Pascal Quality itself:

Well this won't work:
1. People on free pascal mailing list does not mean they use free pascal,
they just interested in reading about it, and maybe not even that ;)
2. People downloading free pascal does not mean they use free pascal, maybe
they tried it out and decided it was not for them.
So I believe that if we will change the name, it might help.
This kind of topic had been arised a few times. Basically I agree with this
idea if it means we should change the name of the compiler, not the name of
the language itself.
We just can't change the language name, just like what

1. There is nothing wrong with Free in the name. Many open-source apps have
that. Business people trust their wallets. And here, a lot more trust Linux and
