For instance I have just posted a blog article on FPC/Lazarus compilaton at http://devblog.brahmancreations.com/content/build-scripts-for-installing-freepascal-and-lazarus-from-source, and what I want to do is to have the build_name variable as available to the IDE. e.g if a lazarus build is named lazarus_0920_27001, I would like to use a macro based on the package name as well as the lazarus build name, so the compiler knows that units for zeoslib for instance go to directory /components/lazarus_0920_27001/zeoslib. Even if the package sources must be modified that should be a minor problem. Surely something like that must be possible. I think it would also solve the problem of backporting packages made for fpc 2.5.1/lazarus 0.9.29 to the 0.9.28 and even the 0.9.26 series as it is extremely unlikely that they depend on language features only present in fpc 2.5.1. Delphi developers are still producing code compatible with Delphi 7. Delphi 7 still appears to be the reference platform for Delphi development. > Mattias > > > -- > _______________________________________________ > Lazarus mailing list > Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org > http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus > -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
