I wanted to see if it is possible to put in a feature request to modify
the present installation of FPC to include the actual binary "fpc"
program into the directory where ppc386, ppcppc, and ppcx64 binaries.
Presently, under linux I am able to use symbolic links to make my system
point to 32bit or 64bit compiler ../lib/fpc/2.6.2/ppc386
../lib/fpc/2.6.2/ppcx64. I've been doing this for a long time with no
problems.
Recently, I was instructed by Jonas that "fpc" was more than ppcx64 or
ppc386 and it proved problematic for me to use a link to the desired
compiler to "swap" versions.
I have a "reset-fpc.sh" script that replaces symbolic links to fpc,
ppc386 and ppcx64. But now that I know fpc binary needs to be
"restored" instead of point to. So, I realize that there is no "fpc"
binary copy placed into the library folder. Which leads me to proposing
that it should be.
I wonder what actually builds "fpc" binary and included (fp*) tools
presently shipped...
And if "fpc" binary is different than ppcx64 than why do I have no build
problems on my Linux box but am unable to build fpc on a darwin box?
Thanks for any input,
Andrew Brunner
