When will it be possible on lazarus to add your own components like in delphi?(i know you can do it now, but still to complex.)

the faq says the compiler cannot handle it, does anybody know if anybody is working on that?

greetings from holland,

Remko,

You are right that we need the compiler to change in order to facilitate this. However, adding your own components is not difficult. Have you read the readme under lazarus/components/custom ?

AFAIK there are currently not many custom components for lazarus available. So, it is not that urgent.
OTOH, 80% of the package system does not need dynamic linking/unlinking and because lazarus should work OS independent the package system should work even without. Lets call it package system in static mode. Of course this means, that the IDE must be linked and restarted, everytime a package is installed/removed/recompiled. And as soon as fpc fully supports dyn libs, we can add the dynamic linking/unlinking.

So, maybe we can start the package system.
What do the others think?

Do you know if the compiler man are working on this?

They are.

I see no problems with this approach. It is a start and when dynamic linking is available it should be easy to adjust.
