Lazarus should function just fine with only the binary install of FPC. But if you want *all* features available in the Lazarus IDE, then you need the source code of FPC as well. The source code is used by the developers to see an implementation of a base class (something in the RTL maybe), code navigation into FCL or RTL etc... -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
