I use Free Pascal at times. In case there are any FP developers here: your build arrangements hamper my use. I tried installing earlier this week from source and could not get it going.

My ideal would be a single configure/Makefile combination in the root directory. Consider if the user does not have root, how are they to set a prefix?

The idea of the 'build' download is good, but not if it needs to link to recent shared-objects. Particularly recent shared objects like libc. Maybe you could put statically-linked tools in the 'build' version.

I guess you need to contact devs to clarify. I regularly build from sources for Linux and cross-compile for Windows both x32 and x64 using just single "make ..." command.
