Right, yes. It is /usr/src/packages. I was looking for /usr/share/fpcsrc or similar like older Suse packages have. > > One more thing.

It doesn't really tell to run "make all" but that created compilers ppc1, ppc2, ppc3 and ppc386 anyway. I am planning to use this svn version for Lazarus experiments. Is it a good idea? I selected the compiler and executable there but Lazarus complained about fpc.cfg (and such) and doesn't work. Maybe I will ask later from Lazarus list.
