Hi
I'm trying to compile application on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS with
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2+dfsg-9ubuntu1 [2022/04/11] for
x86_64
I used 'sudo apt install fpc' to install the FPC on the machine

I cloned my project from git to ~/projects/my-project folder
and trying to compile it with the following command
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i fpc
@build/ubuntu/fpc.cfg 
And got this error
[0.002] Error: Illegal parameter: MyApp.lpr

and this is the logged output
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i

Do you have any idea what could cause the error

The program name is not a valid option, as indicated by the error
message.

afaik, the name of the program to compile can only be supplied by
feeding it to the compiler on the command-line.
