* Navigate the menus to: Options|Directories and select the 'Units'
tab.
* Now enter the following directories replacing the relevant parts with
your actual paths. The example below is valid on my system only.
I was using FPC 2.2.0 under Linux and the X11 corelib backend.

/opt/fpc_2.2.0/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-linux/*
/opt/fpc_2.2.0/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-linux/rtl
/home/graemeg/programming/fpGUI/src/corelib
/home/graemeg/programming/fpGUI/src/corelib/x11
/home/graemeg/programming/fpGUI/src/gui
your actual full paths for fpGUI.

For Linux:
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/corelib
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/corelib/x11 \\for linux
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/gui
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/gui/db
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/3rdparty/regex

For Windows:
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\corelib
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\corelib\gdi \\for windows
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\gui
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\gui\db
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\3rdparty\regex

* Now select the 'Include files' tab and enter the following paths.
Again change the paths to point to your actual directories and
X11 or GDI corelib backend.

/home/graemeg/programming/fpGUI/src/corelib
/home/graemeg/programming/fpGUI/src/corelib/x11
For Linux:
full_path_to/fpGUI/src
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/corelib
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/corelib/x11 \\for linux

For Windows:
full_path_to\fpGUI\src
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\corelib
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\corelib\gdi \\for windows

* Now changes to 'Miscellaneous' tab, PPU output directory. Type in
the edit box: units
the edit box: full_path_to\units

NOTE:
This will place all the compiled *.ppu and *.o files into a 'units'
directory inside you current directory. So make sure you create it
before you try to compile for the first time. FPC doesn't create
directories for you!

* Now you are ready to open your projects main program unit (F3) and
* To create all the units for fpGUI,
compile one of the following:
full_path_to/fpGUI/src/corelib/x11/fpgui_toolkit.pas //for linux
full_path_to\fpGUI\src\corelib\gdi\fpgui_toolkit.pas //for windows

* Now you can restore your freepascal configuration by:
remove all the directories added in the Units Tab
remove the directories added in Include Files Tab
remove units from the Miscellaneous tab

* Add the directory to the newly created units in the units tab
full_path_to\units

you are ready to open your projects main program unit (F3) and
compiling it by pressing (F9).
