Hi,

What does the compiler option -l "Write a FPC logo" actually do? What logo? How does the logo look like? Where do I see that logo? Does it work on all platforms? For example, I use Linux.

Regards,

-l writes something like this:

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.2.5 [2009/05/01] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2008 by Florian Klaempfl

-l seems to be the default in my fpc.cfg

henry

p.s. hmm, the copyright date probably needs to be updated

Ah, so it's not actually a logo (resource) compiled into the executable. Thanks Henry.

I noticed the same thing earlier today. :-)
