My bad. I formulated it incorrectly. I meant the designtime libraries of components and everything they link to (which is quite often the main library too). Not designtime generated code and/or .dfms. Though the bit of redistributing lazarus might have hinted on that already. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
