The 'FCL' package. The stuff for registering the
package and the units. At the moment only the IDE uses this to let
design time packages register themselves.

For what directory?

Let's assume you did that for directory X.

'nonwin32' comes from the LCL.
The directory X belongs to Y, which is a project or a package, which
uses the LCL, IDEIntf, tiopf and fpc-gecko.

I guess you mean the compiler options of your project Z.
The Fu paths are not in the list of Y, so Z<>Y.

The question is: What is Y?
