Hi,

quick question: where does the textmode IDE store its configuration? It seems I have messed up something but I cant find any configuration at the obvious places where I would expect them.

The following are the places I would intuitively look for a config file

/etc/fp.cfg (or something starting with .fp)

/etc/fp/

~/.fp.cfg (or something starting with .fp)

~/.fp/

but i cannot find it.

On my machine, it lives at /usr/lib64/fpc/2.4.0/ide/text/fp.cfg

Afaik if it can find centrally stored ones, it asks if you want to use them or create new ones. At least it works that way on windows.

I found them, it was fp.ini, fp.cfg and fp.dsk in the current directory. I didn't notice them because I was doing some experiments in my home dir and i did it from the console, so I didn't see them amongst all my other files there at a glance.

It suddenly didn't display any compiler error messages anymore and I read somewhere that this might be a messed up configuration, so I was searching for a global configuration file. Simply deleting the above mentioned files solved the problem.
