How to override FreePascal built-in IDE (fp IDE) fp.cfg from external *.cfg?

[zamronypj]

Can I tell fp IDE to load my own existing *.cfg instead of creating its own fp.cfg file?

 fp -C <yourfile.cfg>

I used -Cfilename option but it seemed only accept *.ini, not Free Pascal configuration file.

Ah yes, it is for the session file, not the config. I looked at the params, and doesn't seem possible.

You can maybe override a global one by making a local ~/.fp.cfg or so.

fp looks for its config first in the directory from which it's launched; if you want it to load a custom fp.cfg just copy it over before launching it. For example, by launching a shell script similar to:

Code: [Select]

!#/bin/sh
cp ~/username/templates/specialfp.cfg ./fp.cfg
fp $@
