The compiler by itself will not use that file. Here is the mechanism used by the compiler: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/user/usersu10.html So if geany or one of its plugins does something with that file, then you should be looking in the geany documentation for the mechanism used: I can't be expected to document every plugin for every editor on the planet. Based on your scant information, I can only assume that the abovementioned file (is it extrafps.cfg or extrafpc.cfg or both, or is that a typo ?) is a regular FPC configuration file. I know the fpGUI project uses extrafpc.cfg or extra.cfg or so, but you need to pass it to the compiler through @extrafpc.cfg. If it is a fpc config file, then in that case it is definitely documented here: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/user/userse17.html Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
