NAME

       lazbuild - The Lazarus project and package build program.

SYNOPSIS

       lazbuild [options] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       lazbuild  builds  a  Lazarus  project or package. It compiles projects (.lpi) and packages
       (.lpk). It checks and automatically compiles required packages.

USAGE

       lazbuild is a command-line tool that builds  Lazarus  projects  and  packages.  It  checks
       recursively  all  dependencies and compiles needed packages first. It uses the Free Pascal
       compiler (fpc) to compile.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Displays a short help message.

       -B, --build-all
              build all files of project/package. Has the same effect as option -B of fpc(1).

       -r, --recursive
              apply build flags (-B) to dependencies too.

       -d, --skip-dependencies
              do not compile dependencies

       --build-ide=<options>
              Compile the IDE (i.e. the lazarus executable). The list of installation packages is
              read from the config directory. The <options> can be empty.

       -v, --version
              show version and exit

        --pcp=<path>, --primary-config-path=<path>
              primary  config  directory,  where  Lazarus  stores  its  config  files. Default is
              /home/mazen/.lazarus

       --scp=<path>, --secondary-config-path=<path>
              secondary config directory, where  Lazarus  searches  for  config  template  files.
              Default is /etc/lazarus

       --os=<operating-system>, --operating-system=<operating-system>
              override the project operating system. e.g. win32 or linux.

       --ws=<widgetset>, --widgetset=<widgetset>
              override the project widgetset. e.g. gtk, gtk2, qt, win32 or carbon.

       --cpu=<cpu>
              override the project cpu. e.g. i386, x86_64, powerpc, powerpc_64 etc.

       --build-mode=<project build mode>, --bm=<project build mode>
              override the project build mode.

       --compiler=<ppcXXX>
              override the default compiler. e.g. ppc386, ppcx64, ppcppc etc.

       --language=<lang>
              Override language. For example --language=de. For  possible values see files in the
              lazarus languages directory.

.lpi and .lpk files

       The .lpi and .lpk files are best created and edited with the Lazarus IDE.  The  files  are
       in xml. There is no reason to edit them manually, except for very rare cases like renaming
       hundreds of files.
