You're welcome ;-) Anyway Additions and Overrides now has a Set LCL Widget Type dropdown box. To select the GUI system you want your project to attach to. We can add another target Override but here is no selection for the different Targets (Archs and OSes) we might want to compile for. (Even though if the IDE runs in Linux you can select win32 as LCL Widget Type in the dropdown box.) Is the Arch and OS setting done in another page or do you need to just know what you need to set if compiling for another CPU or OS Target but the default one. (Of course you need to have the appropriate FPC (cross) version installed to take advantage of this). -Michael -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

I have only used the Additions and Overrides page for setting a define for the project + all dependent packages. It worked well for that. Indeed this page is intimidating and maybe could be improved. I don't know exactly how. Still I think you confused Build modes with Additions and Overrides. They are very different things.

Somebody should fix it ... IDE macros were replaced with Additions and Overrides which is more versatile and its settings affect dependent packages, too. Build Modes are now managed in a separate dialog window. You see its GUI at the top of the Options window when some of compiler options pages is selected. Thus it is now more obvious that all compiler options are saved in Build Modes.

Contratry to so many screenshots and text in the wiki, the Build Modes node doesn't exist any more in Compiler Options. I found similar functionality well hidden in Additions and Overrides. Open that sceen, then you have to click on the down arrow next to Add, then select IDE Macros. New macro entries are then created under the odd looking grid under Stored in project (.lpi). Define your Name=Value pairs there, and they generate the MacroValues seen in the LPI file. So, how old is the wiki text and screenshots then? I just checked, and the release Lazarus v1.4 doesn't have the Build modes under Compiler Options, and obviously neither does v1.5 (trunk). Feature Request: Please, please add versioned documentation (docs per release) as a priority for Lazarus. The wiki is currently a mess, and from what I experienced, definitely not very helpful at all.

[Lazarus] Project defined Macros?
Hi, I've come across a relatively recent project of mine that has project defined macros in the LPI file, but for the life of me I can't see where in the Project Options dialog that is defined. See the MacroValues shown below. The Wiki also doesn't mention it. I just updated my Lazarus to the latest Trunk, but it doesn't seem to have such an option either. I remember trying out CodeTyphon a couple weeks back, so not sure if that is maybe a feature they added, and it modified my LPI in the process? This project doesn't define dependency packages, so it seems to have used the Project Macros instead to find the correct source code. The Compiler Options - Paths also use these macros. For example: $(tiopf)UnitTests/Common; $(tiopf)UnitTests/Tests; $(tiopf)Core; $(tiopf)Options; $(tiopf)GUI/fpGUI; $(fpgui)src; ...snip.. I'm a bit puzzled here. :-) == ?xml version=1.0?
