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.
