On any platform, after installing the compiler you may wish to set some environment variables.
The Free Pascal compiler recognizes the following variables :
- PPC_EXEC_PATH contains the directory where support les for the compiler can be
found.
- PPC_CONFIG_PATH speci es an alternate path to nd the fpc.cfg.
- PPC_ERROR_FILE speci es the path and name of the error-de nition le.
- FPCDIR speci es the root directory of the Free Pascal installation. (e.g : C:\PP\BIN)
These locations are, however, set in the sample con guration le which is built at the end of the
installation process, except for the PPC_CONFIG_PATH variable, which you must set if you didn't
install things in the default places.
