** Using your own Free Pascal compiler system with Dev-Pascal **

If you already have a Free Pascal compiler system and have installed the executable version of Dev-Pascal, you can configure Dev-Pascal to work with it. Please follow the instructions below :

1. Open Dev-Pascal, and go to the Options menu, then Compiler options

2. In the Directories sheet page, type in the Bin field the directory that contains the Free Pascal executables (example : c:\pp\bin\win32\)

3. Type in the Units field a list of directories to your Free Pascal unit files. Separate paths by semicolon (;). Example : c:\pp\units\win32\;c:\pp\units\win32\rtl\;c:\pp\units\win32\fcl\;c:\pp\units\win32\api\

4. Type in the Lib field the directory to your Free Pascal library files (example : c:\pp\lib\win32\)

5. Select "Freepascal" in the "Pascal compiler" tab.

6. Click OK in the Compiler Options dialog. Your Free Pascal compiler system should be now configured to work with Dev-Pascal.
