Yes. And cleanall still doesn't  clean  lcl/units

Depends on if you have a global include file;

if you have a global includefile, just put

{$ifdef linux}
 {$define Unix}
{$endif}

in the global includefile, and change all other ifdefs to {$ifdef Unix}

Good point. Anyway, Peter is right, this is a FPC thing, more than a Lazarus
thing. Will move it to core.

Some system with aliases (e.g.
-F<someletter>gtk=gtk12,glib=glib12,gdk=gdk12' would be a solution, another
would be

Another less intrusive (but less powerfull) would be to have yet another
-Fl'ish commando that prepends to the searched dir list instead of appends.

It should be taken care off in the compiler

Slow, and dragging and dropping barely worked.
