Hi,
I have another version of my improved Configure Build Lazarus dialog.
There are basically 2 ways to go with the GUI design here:
1. Build profile centric. You select the profile and maybe change it.
2. Build options centric. It lets you forget the profiles if you don't want to
use them.
The feedback was that "super-users" don't want the profiles get into their
way. My new design follows that (nro 2).
It is like the old advanced page but has a combobox for profiles:

and when you click the '...' button you get:

In the previous thread there were ideas also for the profile centric approach.
Then editing the actual build options would require more mouse clicks.
My first version was also very functional. It allowed the user to use profiles
or then not use them, and it was intuitive. But yes, it was crowded because
everything was visible on the same dialog.
For repetition, this was the first version:
