[Lazarus] LCL recompilation

[Hans-Peter Diettrich]

The new handling of the LCL recompilation causes some trouble to me :-(

In former times it was possible to configure and compile the LCL in a 
defined way. Now project specific settings can result in a recompilation 
of the LCL, with every project, with chances that the recompilation 
fails for a bunch of reasons. Even a "make clean all" can not help any 
more, when testing a project forces another recompilation of the LCL :-(

Is it possible to "fix" the LCL compilation (i.e. no implied rebuild)?

Is it possible to use the Lazarus.lpi project for testing changes to the 
LCL or IDE interface? Since this project does *not* recompile the LCL, 
how can the LCL be rebuilt for such testing, without recompilation of 
the current IDE?

Is it possible to have different LCL versions, for the IDE and other 
projects? Rebuilding the IDE, e.g. to add or remove packages, should be 
possible without adding eventual modifications to the LCL. I'd like to 
have a single stable IDE on my system, that is never affected by 
exploring different SVN branches or other local changes to the codebase.

Is it possible to have different debug settings, for projects and the 
LCL? Code navigation (goto declaration...) and stepping through LCL 
code, down to the widgetset level, seems to require a debug version of 
the LCL.
