You use one and the same fpc.exe.
But you need a different ppc____.exe. All those ppc live in the same
folder. And they are all called by the same fpc.exe, depending on the
options given to that fpc.exe.
Of course, for that they must be installed as cross compilers. So they
also share the fpc.cfg. But the all have their own ppu and o files.

Yes.<br>
<br>
You can directly configure ppc___.exe instead. But there is rarely a
benefit in it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Btw, on your initial statement: You can also set a completely
different compiler (e.g. diff version) in the project options. Under
"Compiler commands", in the edit "Compiler", which is preset to
"$(CompPath)" // Which despite it names returns the exe

That sounds like a bug to me. Unless you mean a really new install,
not an upgrade?<br>
<br>
I have not tested this one (as I do not use it), but normally, if
you upgrade the config is kept (in your primary conf dir / default
~/.lazarus ).<br>

The option already exists. In Tools > options > Editor
toolbar.<br>
Hence, I said its no issue for me if it is there by default. <br>
Actually: I just checked the released 3.6 => and the Toolbar is
shown by default. <br>
<br>
It just comes with only 2 buttons, but as I said, I am not opposed
to an other preset, but you need to see what others in the team
think. So Lazarus mail list, or bug report.<br>

They look like edit command => Though I am not sure what the gears are....
My personal concern was from your statement:
<blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">If you want to compile the whole project you simply click on the button
instead of searching it in the menu.</pre></blockquote>IMHO, that should be in the cool-bar => the global toolbar below the menu. It doesn't relate to any particular editor.
See the quote of mine at the very bottom of this mail.

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Edit of the toolbar is already possible with a right button click.
Better would be an explicit button so that this is more obvious.</pre>

So is the coolbar (well don't know about right click, but in the
options)<br>

Functions such as "compile the whole project" don't relate to a single
Editor. Showing them multiply times (for each editor window) is imho not
a proper default.
But of course fine for anyone who likes it.
