After installation everything works well, but the FPC version is 2.6.5. How to update it to FPC trunk? I need it for testing purposes.

RTFM...

Fix for now (by heart, may be missing something): remove the fpc directory
change fpcurl for general all etc sections in settings.ini to the trunk versions (commented out in first section for your convenience)

remove the generated lazarus config directory as that points to the old compiler version... easiest just to regenerate it

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcup#Ready_to_run see the Note
Make sure you have make 3.82 in your fpcbootstrap dir (e.g. from a Laz 1.2.4 install)

Rerun.

Run with fpgui and select the profile you want to run (a full build seems best for the initial run)

I did a new build with
fpcup64.exe --fpcURL=trunk
and it works very well.
This is quite a big tool already. Lots of options and features. Cool!

Good to hear that.

Mmmm yeah, thanks. That's both a plus and a minus: many options is also very confusing....
At least out of the box it gets you a working FPC+Laz but once you want something else you still have to dig.

Suggestions for streamlining (fpcupgui etc) more than welcome.

In the forums, this is great for dealing with all those "but the snapshots don't work anymore..." :-)
