Hi,

Previously I only ever used the 32bit compiler and had my setup as follows:

/opt/fpc -> fpc_2.2.5 symlink
/fpc_2.2.5
/bin
/lib
/src -> source code from svn
/fpc_2.3.1 -> fpc_svn symlink
/fpc_svn
/bin
/lib
/src -> source code from svn

I have now moved over to a 64bit OS, but for work purposes still need to compile 32bit executables of our software. I have also moved from v2.2.5 to the pre-2.4.0 (fixes_2_4 branch) as my "main" FPC compiler version.

Can anybody suggest how they manage there setups using both 32bit and 64bit compilers?

eg:
* My ~/.fpc.cfg files uses the macros in paths so no matter the version, things should still work ok. But that was only for 32bit FPC. What do I do now for 32bit & 64bit support
* Do I need to create separate /opt/fpc_xxx directories for 32bit & 64bit FPC versions, or cat both versions be installed in say /opt/fpc_2.4.0/bin & ../lib directories without interfering with each other.

Anybody have suggestions? Or a wiki pages describing such a dual setup? I'll be happy with an initial pre-v2.4.0 only setup and later figure out how to add v2.5.x to the mix (if that makes things easier).

Any help is much appreciated.
