I have checked out lazarus 1.6 on the RC1 tag and now I am a bit
confused regarding the make options...
I start by building lazarus in my source dir below home:
make bigide
But then there is:
sudo make install
which is used to put this lazarus into /usr/local/share/lazarus
What seems to happen is that there are a number of symlinks created in
/usr/local/bin for startlazarus and other items.
What I would like to know is what happens if I already have a
different lazarus version that has been installed by "make install"?
Will the new lazarus replace the older or will there be some version
added to the symlinks?
I don't dare to run make install until I know the end result...
