Maybe you mean required package?
Maybe. I have lazarus.lpi open and my mind is mixed up.
BTW, unit FileUtil is one of the base units of the LCL, without
widgetset dependencies. Using it in console applications is safe.
Yes, after adding LCL dependency and NoGUI widgetset. Currently the converter
does not add LCL dependency for console apps. I will make it optional later.
Some developers considered NoGUI widgetset as a bad idea, as you remember.
But when converting a console application it is not clear if
UTF8 filenames is a good choice (IMO).
Can you please explain. I don't know the details here. I thought file name
conversion is an OS related issue, not GUI related.
It is GUI related.
The lazarus GUI uses UTF-8, so when transferring a filename from a TFileNameEdit
(or TOPenDialog) to a FileOpen() function, the conversion from UTF-8 to system
encoding must be done.
Console applications will normally not use UTF-8 in the first place, they
will normally be using system encoding from the start, so it is a bad idea
to insert conversion routines, since none is necessary to start with...
