The base units are independent of the widgetset units and the widgetset
units use the base units. So the package of widgetset units must use
the package of the base units.
Theoretically: If the base package would be named 'LCL', then
all existing projects would no longer work, because they misses the
widgetset units.
Why then have separate packages at all, when every GUI application
depends on both?
From the users point of view the LCL split is the same as if
a big package was split into two. The upper package keeps the original
name for compatibility. Compilation works, but fpdoc links get into
trouble.
Building old projects (examples...) now fails, because these depend on
LCL, not on LCLbase :-(
This is because the inheriting of packages is not (yet) implemented for
fpdoc. It's not a big task to implement this for the IDE code hints,
but I don't know yet about the rest of fpdoc. I can take a look after
my vacation.
In other words:
Eventually both fpdoc links "#LCL.Controls" and "#LCLBase.Controls"
should work. But of course #LCLBase.Controls is more correct.
IMO "#LCL.Controls" and "#Widgetsets.whateverelse" would be more
appropriate.
