You may wish to set some environment variables. The Free Pascal compiler recognizes the following variables :
PPC_EXEC_PATH contains the directory where 'as' and
'ld' are. (default /usr/bin)PPC_GCCLIB_PATH contains the directory where libgcc.a
is (no default). This if for LINUX only.PPC_CONFIG_PATH specifies an alternate path to find
ppc386.cfg (default under LINUX is /etc)PPC_ERROR_FILE specifies the path and name of the error-definition file.
(default /usr/lib/fpc/errorE.msg)
These locations are, however, set in the sample configuration file which is
built at the end of the installation process, except for the
PPC_CONFIG_PATH variable, which you must set if you didn't install
things in the default places.
Also distributed in Free Pascal is a README file. It contains the latest instructions for installing Free Pascal, and should always be read first.
