Hi,

This seems to have changed:

Tools -> Options -> Configure build Lazarus.

Select profile: Build LCL
Click Build

Expected result: only LCL is rebuilt (as it was in r3180) Observed result: IDE is rebuilt

Lazarus r33046

I use Build LCL if I only want to rebuild the LCL, for example with some custom define.

Is the new behaviour by design or is it a bug?

Bart

Design.

Just go to packages menu, open loaded packages "LCL", and rebuild from there

I don't like that :-(

That does not work for me, due to this bug:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19820

So, basically I'm screwed ;-)

Right, there are old build profiles left in your local configuration. I think they should be cleaned somehow automatically.

The build now works correctly (at least nobody complained). It is only possible to build IDE from that dialog. LCL will be built automatically if needed, like for any application using LCL. Thus a profile: "Build LCL" is obsolete and you should delete it. You can even delete file "miscellaneousoptions.xml" in your local config dir. Then start Lazarus and you get new default build profiles.

open the package from disk, like any other package (LCL is now exactly like any other package)

Ok, the bug stops you from editing anything in the package option dilaog. But the package does obbey the options from "Tools" > "config build Laz"

So edit the options in "config build laz", as you would have in the past. "Save" the changes, open the package, click build.

Not ideal. but it's just till the bug is fixed

I use Build LCL if I only want to rebuild the LCL, for example with some custom define.

Bart, when you add a custom define then LCL is built automatically. If you don't change anything then it is not built.
It is automatic, you don't need to pay attention to it.

Hi Juha,

Well, i did, didn't I ;-)

It is only possible to build IDE from that dialog. LCL will be built automatically if needed, like for any application using LCL.

When investigating bug, I often rebuild the LCL with some particular define. If I change some LCL file and rebuild the app, how can I pass a new define to the LCL then (like -dVerboseStretchCopyArea )?

I'll do that then.

If you add a define in Configure Build Lazarus Dialog then packages with $(IDEBuildOptions) are not rebuilt until you restart IDE.

But if you add the define in lcl.lpk then it rebuilds.

Huh?
I do it this every day. I don't need to restart.
Maybe you have some old settings that interfere.
Stop the IDE, delete the miscellaneousoptions.xml file and try again.

But if you add the define in lcl.lpk then it rebuilds.

I have deleted it, didn't help.
I found it is enough to press OK in project options:

I start IDE and build a LCL-dependent project. In Configure Build Lazarus I add "-qq" (illegal option). Rebuild project - builds fine.

Restart IDE, open project, build project:
"Error: Illegal parameter: -qq"

I remove the "-qq", rebuild project :
"Error: Illegal parameter: -qq"
I open project options, don't change anything, press OK. Rebuild project - packages are rebuilt, project builds fine.

Fixed in svn trunk.

Mattias

Actually, I can confirm that they do not always.

I opened the "config build laz" dialog, and checked one of the defines in the list (one that wasn't checked before).
"save settings"
ctrl-f9 to rebuild my project

LCL was not rebuild, despite settings had changed

Have you tried 33068?

Thanks! Works now.
