Hi,

I create a feature request which will replace Makefile's and 'lazbuild', and instead use the recommended fpmake build system for command line compiling. What's your thoughts on this?

1. yes, support for fpmake is planned
2. fpmake shipped with fpc 2.2.4 has some bugs/limitations. So the Makefiles can not bet replaced before the next fpc release.
3. road map is: first write a fpmake for the codetools, including support for multiple -d flags.
4. extend fpmake and/or restructure the LCL for fpmake.
5. ... we will see ...
6. use fpmake for packages
7. use fpmake for projects and IDE

1. yes, support for fpmake is planned

Excellent. I've been using fpmake on some small fpGUI based projects and it works quite well. I still need to get all the "claimed" fpmake features working, but I'll get there. :)

2. fpmake shipped with fpc 2.2.4 has some bugs/limitations. So the Makefiles can not bet replaced before the next fpc release.

Understandable.

3. road map is: first write a fpmake for the codetools, including support for multiple -d flags.

If not already done, can you report this in FPC's Mantis. I'll try and take a look at any outstanding fpmake bugs in Mantis.

Regards,
