I have a similar setup, but under Linux. What I had to do is create two scripts (The windows term would be batch files) to setup my environment. For example, the one script sets the PATH environment variable to include the FPC/bin directory. That way the terminal I used to execute that script can locate and use fpc (ppc386) from any location - note that it only works for that terminal. The other scrip I have is to load the Lazarus IDE and my custom script passes in the --pcp=<pathhere> parameter for my roaming profile directory. My external drive is always mounted as: /media/640gig/ FPC is located at: /media/640gig/fpc_2.2.5 Lazarus is at: /media/640gig/lazarus fpGUI is at: /media/640gig/programming/fpgui My local projects are at: /media/640gig/programming/ This setup is not ideal, but in my controlled environment, it allows me to move from desktop to laptop and still have all my projects available and my development environment. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
