Big thanks for another update of this great piece of software *thumbs up* !

Still there seems to be something wrong with the makefiles. I installed the latest version from sourceforge (lazarus-1.0.10-0.tar.gz) via "make install", and surprisingly the files ended up in /bin and /share.

Up to now, things were installed to /usr/local/*, which is the right place IMO.

Can anyone verify this?

Do you mean /bin and /usr/share?

What do you mean with "Up to now"?
Are there any rules or standards that lead to your opinion?

Can anyone verify this?

Just a note: The Makefile is created by fpcmake. The "make install" is the default behavior of Makefiles created by fpcmake. The Lazarus Makefile.fpc only set the basedir to share/lazarus, which results under Linux to /usr/share/lazarus.
You can install to another directory with

make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

Ok, it was my mistake, I mixed up my scripts.

Do you mean /bin and /usr/share?

No, indeed it was /share

What do you mean with "Up to now"?

Somehow I accidentally used a wrong script which basically did a

make
sudo make install

instead of ('up to now')

make all OS_TARGET=linux CPU_TARGET=x86_64 FPC=ppcx64 su -c "make install OS_TARGET=linux CPU_TARGET=x86_64 FPC=ppcx64"

With the right script, everything is fine :)

Just a note: The Makefile is created by fpcmake. The "make install" is the default behavior of Makefiles created by fpcmake. The Lazarus Makefile.fpc only set the basedir to share/lazarus, which results under Linux to /usr/share/lazarus.

I never changed the makefile, so I thought something was changed in the makefile.

Btw. Lazarus (for me) installs into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/lazarus.

and - AFAIK - /usr/local/* is the place where any files which are not installed through a package manager are supposed to be in.

Sorry for this false alarm and inconvenience,
