I agree. There really is two parts to what we are doing. The work on the
class libraries is really intended to be part of the FCL while the IDE
is what is actually Lazarus. At this point in trying to build Lazarus we
are creating the class libraries but they are not part of the IDE. They
will just be used to MAKE the IDE. Think of it this way you can write
any application to use the class libraries, which has been done - the
test program, hello_world, without the need of Lazarus.

I think it is time we start separating the 2. We need to have a
directory setup that just builds the PPUs for the class libraries and
then another directory for actual development and testing work.

Cliff since you are adding the debug stuff and the .inc separation why
don't you do this at the same time. It is just a matter of creating
another directory for just the IDE code and creating a new makefile.
Let's do it now before it does get to much more complicated.
