Why not just provide instructions for installation in the user's home directory, for example. It's what you'd have to do if you didn't have root access anyways. Then you can pretend that it's "cleaner" than just installing it systemwide.
There's a prompt in the freepascal installer that asks for the prefix. Your users should be capable of that? -- Alexander Grotewohl https://dcclost.com ________________________________ From: fpc-pascal <fpc-pascal-boun...@lists.freepascal.org> on behalf of fredvs via fpc-pascal <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2020 8:07:17 AM To: fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Cc: fredvs <fi...@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] Search path order for fpc.cfg Hello. The target of that "patched" fpc is mainly the Raspbian RPi. I want a fpc out-of-the-box, only a zip file that people may unzip where they want, without need to touch anything to the system. All what I have found in fpc doc always require to touch to system. Also, I want that people can compile out-of-the-box, without the need to install dev package because that army of Rpi is not connected. I thanks you for the warnings about using fpc.cfg in the same directory than the compiler. But for my need there is no problem with that, even if you create a symlink and run fpc from that symlink. I do propose my patch here to inform what I am changing in https://github.com/fredvs/freepascal Fre;D -- Sent from: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
