You can add a bug report and describe that as a new feature.
The best approach is to add a kind of 'path prefix' to lazarus... a
var that could be use, so this option could be more cross platform.
(i.e. drive letters are useless in other os than windows.)
Path Prefix: c:/myfolder/
Path Prefix: /mnt/removable
FPC source path: ${PATH_PREFIX}/lazarus/fpcsrc/
We could push it a bit more... simply allow support for any IDE
variables... I mean, a variable editor that we can reuse:
${MY_BASE_PATH} = C:\devel
${MY_MAKE_OS} = i386-win32\make.exe
Lazarus path: ${MY_BASE_PATH}\lazarus\
FPC path: ${LAZARUS_PATH}\fpcsrc\
Make path: ${LAZARUS_PATH}\pp\bin\${MY_MAKE_OS}
${LAZARUS_xxx} would be reserved for auto-generated path...
Well, maybe such features already exist... ?
Best regards.
