| 27 | + | A package can have one of the following states: | |
| 28 | + | ||
| 29 | + | - Installed - the package is installed. An installed package is compiled into the IDE and its classes are available in the component palette. | |
| 30 | + | - AutoCreated - the package is part of the IDE, it can not be uninstalled. | |
| 31 | + | - Install on next start - the package is not yet installed, but will be compiled into the IDE and will be installed after exiting the IDE and starting the new IDE. You compile a new IDE in Tools -\> Build Lazarus. | |
| 32 | + | - Uninstall on next start (unless needed by an installed package) - This package was installed automatically because it was needed by a package that was installed normally. When the normally installed package is uninstalled this package will be uninstalled as well. | |
