When you have downloaded fpc 2.7.1, go to the command-line and do 'make 
clean all'. Make sure that the compiler-executable (ppc386.exe and 
fpc.exe) are in your search-path. If you are on Windows this is not 
always the case. (set path=%path%:c:\lazarus\fpc\2.6.4\bin\i386-win32)

Then you have to do a 'make install'. But to do so, you need 
administrator-rights. So make sure that you use the right-mouse button 
when you start your console (cmd or poweshell) and select 'run as 
administrator'.

If you passed this step, you have fpc installed in c:\pp. Adapt the path 
so that it points to this new location for the compiler-binaries. (Nore 
that you still need a reference to the old lazarus-fpc-location, because 
it also contains helper utilities like make.exe)

If you are editing the fpc.cfg file, search for the lines that start 
with -Fu.  Those need changing.

If you want to know where to place your fpc.cfg, use ppc386.exe -vt.

Then adapt the Lazarus configuration, and you should be done.

There are also scripts that do all this for you, btw.

Joost.
