The text mode IDE can display statisics while compiling. Why can't
Lazarus?
There is the compiler unit, which *is* available, and this is the
only officially supported compiler interface. We are not against
other officially supported interfaces, but parsing messages is
definately not an offical interface and recommended against. It is
not the first time we have this discussion, we discussed possible
protocols before.
Can you give a link?

Thanks.
The thread did not discuss all problems, but it has one good idea:
We need a machine readable output format for fpc.
Any progress?
IIRC, we once had the idea to feed the compiler an error message file
with only error numbers as error "messages" so parsing would be easier.
