The LCL package has this in custom definitions for dependent packages:
-dLCL -dLCL$(LCLWidgetType)
So Lazarus simply defines the LCL and LCL at compile time.

Hi all,
After finding the OpenGL bindings that come with Lazarus a bit on the
ancient side of things (i think it only supports up to 4.0? Also there is a

This is IMO misleading since nowadays AnsiString has codepage information

That warning is misleading, makes too many assumptions about why the user
