Nope, my Lazarus is installed in /opt/lazarus/ directory. The
configuration files (which include external packages listing) are stored
in $HOME/.lazarus/ directory.
So even if I upgrade or reinstall Lazarus, it does not touch my
configuration files. I have been working like this for years.
I actually have two icons on my desktop, and both use the --pcp=
parameter with different profile directories.
Lazarus (stable) -> $HOME/.lazarus-stable/
Lazarus (unstable). -> $HOME/.lazarus/
Now only if I could tell Lazarus (Tools > Configure Build Lazarus) what
my desired output filename must be, instead of always defaulting to
'lazarus'
Anybody know if this is possible?
