[fpc-devel] fpcmkcfg invocation for two versions (linux)

[Gennadiy Poryev]

Big thanks.

In case anyone stumbles over the same issue, here's the minimal working 
solution:
fpc -vut gives:

Configfile search: /root/.fpc.cfg
Configfile search: /usr/lib64/fpc/etc/fpc.cfg
Configfile search: /etc/fpc.cfg
Fatal: No source file name in command line
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppcx64 returned an error exitcode

Seems logical to use /usr/lib64/fpc/etc/fpc.cfg

A little investigation into what lazarus build complains about leads to 
it being unable to find process.ppu , which in my case is found here

/usr/lib64/fpc/2.6.4/units/x86_64-linux/fcl-process/process.ppu
/usr/lib64/fpc/2.7.1/units/x86_64-linux/fcl-process/process.ppu

So I wrote /usr/lib64/fpc/etc/fpc.cfg thus:

#
-Fu/usr/lib64/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
#

And now Lazarus builds with no problem.
