fpc-ootb 3.2.2.
That release is a fork on FPC: https://www.freepascal.org/
fpc-ootb allows to run the compiler without any installation.
Just download the release of your operating system, unzip it an run fpc-ootb(.exe).
No file added in the system, the fpc.cfg is in the directory of fpc-ootb(.exe).
Free Pascal Compiler OOTB works out of the box.
The OOTB source is based on fpc 3.2.2 official release.
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/tree/release_3_2_2/
With the possibility for Unix users to link libraries with so numbers, like libX11.so.6 or libdl.so.2.
This without the need to install dev package.
For FreeBSD OS, the linker ld.bsd will be used, without any tweak of your system.
Added a new macro: $FPCBINDIR means root directory of the compiler.
That macro was added in commit 44697 12/04/20 of fpc trunk.
In your fpc.cfg is allowed -Fu$FPCBINDIR/thedirectory.
Example:
-Fu$FPCBINDIR/units/$fpctarget
-Fu$FPCBINDIR/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu$FPCBINDIR/units/$fpctarget/rtl
The fpc.cfg file is in the directory of the compiler and will be loaded, all is already configured, no need to change or add anything.
And without any conflict with other fpc installations.
If you prefer the "classical" way, just delete fpc.cfg in the directory of the compiler-binary.
