[Lazarus] Proper procedure after changing files for an installed package?
This is using Lazarus 3.0.0. I have a package with a GUI component which files I have downloaded on-line. The files are stored in a subdirectory to the pcp directory of Lazarus. The package has been "installed" in Lazarus earlier. Now I have retrieved updated files for this package and I wonder what is the proper procedure to get these installed in Lazarus? I can replace the 6-8 files with the new versions in the pcp dir the original files live in. But then what? Do I open Lazarus and use the function "Tools/Build Lazarus with Profile Normal IDE" or do I have to find the package below menu item "Packages" and explicitly command a Compile/Install? I believe that the file timestamps are not really reliable indicators of the new files... Somehow the package needs to be explicitly built. I have not encountered this situation earlier... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
