[fpc-devel] Library and unit search paths under MacOSX with fpc 2.0.0?

[Ales Katona]

Your fpc.cfg file is ether not existing, in the wrong place or wrongly 
configured. I don't know where it should be on MacOSX but if you find it 
fix the -Fu entries so they point to right locations(note: $fpcversion 
etc. are variables, leave them as they are: for example in here:
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/*
