When the fpdoc sources have been unzipped, the Makefile must be generated. Before generating the makefile, the location of the compiler source directory should be indicated. In the Makefile.fpc file, which has a windows ini file format, locate the fpcdir entry in the defaults section:
fpcdir=../..and change it so it points to the top-level Free Pascal source directory.
After that, running fpcmake will produce the Makefile, and running make should produce 2 executables: fpdoc and makeskel.
When installing from sources, a simple
make install cd intl make installshould completely install the documentation tool.
When installing from a archive with the binaries, it should be sufficient to copy the binaries to a directory in the PATH.
To have fpdoc available in several languages, the language files should be installed in the following directory on Unix systems:
/usr/local/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/or
/usr/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/Depending on the setup. Here XX should be replaced by the locale identifier.
