PCP, short for Primary Config Path, is a Lazarus command-line option which permits specifying the directory where Lazarus configuration files are located.

For example, a Linux launcher link (.desktop file) may contain a line like:

Exec=/P/s/lazarus/lazarus --pcp="/P/s/config_lazarus"

which tells Lazarus to look for its configuration in the folder:

 /P/s/config_lazarus

This option is most useful when using multiple Lazarus: it is needed to keep their configurations properly separated.


Windows

If option --pcp is not specified, the default folder in Windows Vista and up is:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\lazarus

Linux

For Linux (and other Unix-like systems) the default configuration folder is:

~\.lazarus
