Yes. It works because I used /2.4.3/ instead of /$fpcversion/ in all paths.
I changed both: 2.4.3 to 2.4.5 and include $fpcversion macro.

The new version is 2.4.5. I don't know when or who changed... I
discovered because my code did not compile!  =)
I migrate my paths; my fpc.cfg; my BAT's files; etc. This is the same
compiler, but better.

Yeah, I saw. But I never need to use the fpcmkcfg so, I didn't test yet.
