Lazarus is an IDE + framework (LCL).</div><div>The IDE itself can work with whatever FPC version and with many LCL versions. So in principle, one can install the IDE and have a custom FPC + LCL.</div><div>One problem here is that the LCL is packaged with the IDE, and this is a issue from upstream not separating the IDE development from the framework development.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't like the idea to enforce the dependency because in principle, the same instance of Lazarus IDE can work with FPC-2.2.0 and FPC-2.2.2 which allows a developer to have time to migrate his application broken by a FPC or LCL upgrade wile using the last IDE. I personally use this feature for a SW that is tightly linked to LCL and thus using a new Lazarus with an old LCL until upgrade is done.<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">-- <br></div><pre style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Cheers,
