It is available when you use the NoGUI widgetset.
How do you change which "widgetset" is used? (I really do not know
what you mean by widgetset, but I assume it is some kind of
application framework).

It's the layer of libraries in between the X11 server (or the Windows API etc.) and the LCL. The widget set implements the standard GUI elements (forms, buttons and so on) while the LCL takes these and provides a standardised set of properties and events that apps can use.

Since you're working on a console app this probably isn't something you need to bother about, but it's usually defined somewhere around Project -> Options -> Paths. However this has tended to vary a bit as the IDE has gained things like build modes.

When building the IDE you'd normally use make bigide or similar which would use the platform defaults, but depending on what libraries etc. were available you could also use e.g. make LCL_PLATFORM=qt bigide
