I think I can speak for a few developers, that such automations can just cause more frustration than good. I personally hate software that tries to be too clever. Lazarus IDE is already on the borderline of that. > Does identifier search/completion work in Lazarus if you use a > extrafpc.cfg to define search paths? I think it does. Either way, when it comes to FPC sources, Lazarus IDE has a config option that you use to tell it where FPC sources are located, so it already parsed & cached that information for auto-completion and code navigation. > Another possibility would be to extend fpcmake to generate different IDE > project files besides the Makefile as well. I don't think this is viable: * There are just too many programmer editors or IDE's that could be used, so this will be a never ending job. * fpcmake is "apparently" being phased out - although a oil tanker moves faster that that. :) NOTE: A correction to my previous message. I meant to type fpmake and _not_ fpcmake. fpmake is apparently the replacement to fpcmake.
