[fpc-pascal] How to auto create the $fpctarget directory

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

How can I auto create the $fpctarget directory?  Just specifying
../lib/$fpctarget/ and then compiling the project doesn't create the
needed directory, and I get the following build error. I gather the
compiler itself doesn't create directories at all. Could this become
an option? Alternatively, is there some why I can query the $fpctarget
and then in the build scripts for Linux, Windows and *BSD create the
correct output paths, because I actually start the compile?
