You can use lazbuild to build Castle Game Engine (just run "lazbuild"
on packages/castle_base.lpk , packages/castle_window.lpk,
packages/castle_components.lpk). However, this requires having
lazbuild installed, which is part of Lazarus. It is not available if
you only have "bare" FPC installed.

That is the only reason why I'm maintaining also an option to build
using fpmake :)
