Location of make: doesn't matter where make is as long as it's in the
path (on Windows at least).
Otherwise, you can test if it's in the compiler binary path,
<fpcdir>\bin\<architecture>, e.g.
c:\development\fpctrunk\bin\i386-win32\make.exe

fpdoc is in <fpcdir>\utils\fpdoc\fpdoc.exe (or in the compiler binary
path, see above)

See here
http://lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,16512.msg90010.html#msg90010
for a simple sample program with TProcess...

IIRC, you said yourself you are limiting the program to Windows, so
don't see how cross platform considerations come into it..

Thanks,
Reinier
