Hi,
Borland 7 was Windows only or am I wrong? (16 bit ...?)
Years ago I installed a modern Delphi version (I think it was XE5 UPD 2) and that version needed approx. 5 GB disk space.
For non GUI Lazarus is not necessary, I guess you already know that ...
Nowadays nobody cares about 1 GB SSD or HDD space ...
Also a portable option with the config on the same folder would be nice!
A secondary installation has the CFG folder exactly there, but I guess you need to setup some paths manually ... never needed this...
Maybe it's enough to change these files or use a little startup exe file that does all the changes ???
lazarus/lazarus.cfg: --primary-config-path=P:\lazarus\laz_conf
lazarus/environmentoptions.xml: <LazarusDirectory Value="P:\lazarus">
lazarus/laz_config/editoroptions.xml
lazarus/laz_config/environmentoptions.xml
lazarus/laz_config/fpcdefines.xml
I guess starting lazarus from USB is slow
by the way: what about fpcUpDeluxe ... ? Is there an easier way possible ?
