In our previous episode, Frank Church said:
It looks like it will be better if the samplecfg uses the fpcmkcfg created
with the new build. Has it been updated since the 2005 date it was created?
See SVN log? Note that the upcoming 2.4.4 is roughly the state of March 1st, and will thus use r16722. This means that the recent fpcmkcfg related heavy changes are for 2.6.0 and must still be tested under all circumstances.
The old samplecfg contains a fpc.cfg template where some lines are substituted with variables. It also receives some parameters from the installer script. This means that e.g. determining the base directory is done in the installer script (which does an uname test to check the OS), or when run from debian/rpm packaging the value is obtained from the package system.
The scripts you quote scripts need manual editing, the idea is that samplecfg doesn't. (and gets its input via parameters)
