Hi folks,

Is there a way to debug design time packages in the IDE ? In Delphi the packages are in DLL and by specifying the IDE as a host application you can debug them. What is the recommended approach in Lazarus?

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

What I had to do was make a backup copy of a working IDE executable. That recompile the IDE with the design time package and test. If the IDE fails to load, use your backup executable to fix the package and recompile again. Rinse and Repeat until it all works. :-)

Use Lazarus to debug lazarus. Open the ide\lazarus.lpi project to run the IDE with your design time components.
