Hello,

I compiled Lazarus from trunk on my Linux Manjaro system. Its now
using the config folder of my default Lazarus 1.4.2 installation. How
can I create a separate config folder for my Lazarus 1.5?

Best regards

See http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/lazbuild
which explains the command-line options you can specify for your
lazarus executable:
--pcp=path-to-primary-config
and
--scp=path-to-secondary-config

Yes, thank you - just found that in the Lazarus wiki. So the command
line option is the only way(?)

You can put the following line in lazarus.cfg in the same directory as
the lazarus executable:
Code: [Select]--primary-config-path=path-to-config-directory

(at least on Windows this works)

Right, I already forgot that. I did that under Win7. Thank you!

Using a Lazarus.cfg file is working for me, even on my Linux Manjaro
system somehow the windows positions are lost after restarting
Lazarus...(). The "default" Lazarus 1.4.2 installation is doing that
without problems. The XML file environmentoptions.xml should store the
user windows postions...

Any confirmation for this behaviour for the Lazarus trunk (1.5)
version under Linux?

Best regards
