Hi,

Like I said, when I run fpcres on the commandline, it works :
pi at raspberrypi ~ $ fpcres
fpcres - resource file converter, version 2.0 [2015/12/06], FPC 3.0.0
Host platform: Linux - arm
Copyright (c) 2008 by Giulio Bernardi.
Syntax: fpcres [options] <inputfile> [<inputfile>...] [-o <outputfile>]
...
pi at raspberrypi ~ $ which fpcres
/home/pi/bin/fpcres

I downloaded fpc from somewhere (I can't find where from at the moment) 
and installed it in a non-previleged place (/home/pi/fpc-3.0.0). Then I 
made symbolic links in /home/pi/bin and set the PATH to include 
/home/pi/bin.
