Hi Michael Van Canneyt,<br><br>Gee, the famous developer of FPC. Nice to meet you.<br><br>I will study your reply. At the moment I am have problems actually finding fp and fpc binaries on my Mint 10 system (Linux).<br><br>
see attached file, my system, when I do a "locate fp" gives me 9924 results!<br><br>The documentation *appears* to not say the location fp and fpc binaries.<br><br>Where is fp ide located on my Mint 10 Linux system?<br>
<br><a href="http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1">http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1</a><br><br>I would like to suggest adding a table here listing the default locations for fp and fpc on different platforms. Tables are, of course, standard html. I have included below an ASCII mockup, as I am using gmail and I cannot quickly generate a html file, on the run.<br>
<br>This data could even be stored in a comma separated value (csv) file, allowing importing into pascal programs.<br><br>If you can supply me with the csv data file as an attachment the I will edit the page ( <a href="http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1">http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu26.html#x53-600006.1.1</a> ) with kompozer and send the html page to you.<br>
