Actually, I don't; it seems to me it's one of the ways to generate the
config.

Running my installer: after compiling lazarus.exe, it runs lazbuild with
--primary-config-path to compile e.g. lazdatadesktop

Not surprisingly, lazbuild errored out; it couldn't find a valid compiler.
Turns out no config files exist in the primary config path (I only see
compilertest.pas), and apparently lazbuild doesn't generate them.

So, I surmised I need to generate configs. Running the IDE seems to be
one way.

Is there a better/easier way?

Thanks,
