It seems user found a bug in FPC 3.2.3 Linux x64 cross compiled to
FreeBSD x64. Installed from fpcUpDeluxe.

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 uses
sysutils;var  s: string;  b: boolean;begin  s:= ParamStr(1);  if s=''
then begin writeln('Param needed, folder path'); exit; end;  b:=
DirectoryExists(s);  writeln('DirectoryExists for "'+s+'":
'+BoolToStr(b, true));end.

1) Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.2 [2023/09/04] for x86_64
$ ./test /usr/home/alex/.config/cudatext/settings/
DirectoryExists for "/usr/home/alex/.config/cudatext/settings/": True

2) Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.3-767-gf2c446c29b [2023/07/24] for
x86_64
Cross compiled on Linux x64 to Freebsd x64

DirectoryExists for "/usr/home/alex/.config/cudatext/settings/": False

I need some confirmation of bug before I make the bugreport.

Problem solved! It was in the cross compiler in fpcUpDeluxe.

I got super advice from fpcupdeluxe author:
QuoteAs the app has to run on FreeBSD13, the first thing you might try
is to use the libs for FreeBSD13.
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe/releases/download/cros
slibs_all/FreeBSD_AMD64_FreeBSD_13.zip
Please re-install the cross-compiler with these libs. And re-compile
your app with the new cross-compiler.
This might help.
