Hi Abou,

Thanks for your response.

Yes, as discussed already in the past.

Well, I just compile ALL packages found in the lazarus tree (see
https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/lazarus/blob/experimental/debian/tests/build-lpk-lpi#L20
The order is determined by the find. But in several cases it seems that
package B is compiled before A indeed.

No. --add-package is not documented in the man page (in the testing
package). Why would I need to specify this myself? If the dependencies
are correctly documented, lazbuild should be able to figure it out in my
opinion.

So how do I figure out which packages I need to add to the command line
automatically? Can you maybe change the file linked above for me?

I haven't checked, but I doubt they build these packages in their own
deb, as these packages are not build by the makefile.
