Hi,
how can fpcmake be driven to only tar and gzip up the sources of it's project *without* installing to the system running on first?
Not any developer has or should have write access
to /usr/local/share/* ...
TIA

You can install to any location you want using
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=x/usr/local
tar will throw away leading slashes anyway, so it doesn't matter from where you zip/tar everything.

You can install to any location you want using
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=x/usr/local
tar will throw away leading slashes anyway, so it doesn't matter from
where you zip/tar everything.
That doesn't work since the prefix is set in the Makefile.fpc and the setting in the file wins:
...
[install]
prefix=/usr/local
...
$ gmake install INSTALL_PREFIX=../x
...
/usr/local/bin/ginstall -m 755 -d /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/ginstall: kann Zugriffsrechte von "/usr/local/bin" nicht ändern: Operation not permitted gmake: *** [fpc_install] Fehler 1

There should be no prefix setting in the Makefile.fpc, because the default prefix depends on the target operating system. Most Makefiles don't contain it, as I use INSTALL_PREFIX all the time to install e.g. the Mac OS X release to a temporary location for packaging it (so at least everything under /fpc is ok, except for possibly the text mode IDE, as it's not built/packaged for Mac OS X by default).
Which Makefile.fpc were you quoting from?

I see, and taking it out of the file it is correctly set for FreeBSD. And setting on the command line work. Jippie! :)
Where is setting the prefix value based on the OS running on done?

The one I wrote for my program. That program is FreeBSD only (may get ported Windows somewhen) and I'm in the process of preparing the source distfile for FreeBSD "port" (sort of RPM-like installation thingy on BSDs, works like that apt-get-stuff).
Thank you very much, now I can finish this thing and put it aside. :)

In the part of the Makefile which gets automatically added by fpcmake. Just search for PREFIX or INSTALL_PREFIX in the Makefile, and then go backwards to see from where the value comes. Or maybe search for usr/local.

I see.
Thanks a lot,
