Yes. You can choose the installation directory using
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install
(For example,
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
This will create bin/ and lib/ and other directories if they do not exist
already.)
Indeed, make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local worked like a charm.
I did not delete anything , because apparently the 'make install'
target needs to
have the previous fpc still installed (i haven't verified this
assumption well, but after
deleting the old fpc : 'make install' gave some errors and i had to
re-install the old fpc).
The newly compiled freepascal is the same version as the old one, so I
assume that
it simply replaced the files.
Perhaps it would be nice to have in the sources directory a README
file describing
how to compile and install from sources? Many opensource projects have such
a files included with the source files .
Thanks !
