Regarding U++ home dir, UPP_DIR and others. May be we can provide more flexible and intelligent way for installation?
I propose the following subject to discuss:
When user starts TheIDE for the first time it propose user to select the desired directory (checking the rights) or create a new working directory.

Actually I thought of doing it that way, but as a first attempt I ended up with what I have done for the FreeBSD port. A dialog asking for the personal installation directory would be a good thing and should not be that complicated.

And regarding GCC32.bm. Where should it appear from? I have created it manually and it is still empty.

I generate it on the fly in the FreeBSD port. I submitted it in the Anouncement section. Maybe we can do similar things on other platforms, too.

For *BSD there is the pkgsrc tree and OpenBSD also has a ports system, which can be used to generate an initial GCC32.bm file.
