💖 MKINSADD-3.2.2 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mkinsadd-3.2.2, living in section 1 of the Free Pascal Compiler docs 🫶. It's a lil helper tool for the Pascal Compiler (FPC) and honestly? it's doing the most so you don't have to ✨

✨ NAME ✨

mkinsadd-3.2.2 — Helper tool for Pascal Compiler (FPC) 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

kay so first thing's first, if you just run this with no args you get:

Error: Too few parameters!!

💀 yeah she's blunt like that. anyway, here's the actual syntax:

mkinsadd-3.2 <path_to_install.dat> <LstFile1> [<LstFile2>...]

The <LstFileN> files are expected to be in the format produced by fpmake — like, for example, using

fpmake pkglist --target=<FPC_target> -zp units-

for unit packages, or without the -zp <prefix> parameter for utils. iykyk 🌈

So what does she actually do? The program compares the content of those list files to the list of packages in the text-mode installer configuration file install.dat, and then creates a file called install.add containing info about the packages that are missing in install.dat 💅 — and it formats them so you can literally copy&paste individual lines straight into install.dat. iconic, no notes, we love a time-saver.

⭐ one lil thing to watch: if the original description of a certain package as found in fpmake.pp is too long for install.dat, the maximum length gets marked in the respective line in install.add using a pipe character ('|') — that's your hint for manual editing, so don't ignore the pipe bestie 🚩
