Hi,
I found that Lazarus does a great job when one uses the same lpi/lpk
on different platforms. I currently have one question. If a path for
example to some library folder is absolute, I get obvious
non-existence error with a text "...contains a non-existing directory"
(for example when letter based windows paths used and I'm in linux and
press ok in project options ). I should just choose Ignore when the
message appear, but I suppose for a large project it can be tedious
and if I wrongly choose cancel, I can lose some information (although
I can live with that). I know that I should avoid absolute paths, but
sometimes it's hard to do.
I see two options (if either possible)
- Ignore absolute paths from another platform (for example c:\src
found in linux Lazarus). But I'm not sure whether it's always
possible.
- Introduce a setting to suppress this warning. I think if it becomes
too tedious, I will be ready to switch this off completely. And it's
much easier to implement that the first suggestion. I tried to find,
maybe it's already there, but failed, sorry
The third possibility is to keep your directory structure the same on
all platforms, e.g. Lazarus in /usr/local/share/lazarus and your sources
in /usr/local/src. If you treat a Linux system as your master, and are
fairly careful about not copying stuff back from Windows unless really
necessary, you won't "pollute" paths with things like drive letters.
