make clean
make OPT='@/home/user/.lazarus/idemake.cfg'
The recommended way is
make clean all && make idepkg
The idemake.cfg contains additional compiler options to compile an IDE with packages. With make OPT='@/home/user/.lazarus/idemake.cfg' you apply them to the LCL, codetools and synedit too. There can be cases where the additional options will alter the compiling process. The save way is to first build lazarus clean and then rebuild only the lazarus.pp with the additional options.
make idepkg
does the same as
make ide OPT='@/home/user/.lazarus/idemake.cfg'
