[Lazarus] Compiling LCL units via commandline

[luciano de souza]

Renier,
I will take off the LCL references from fpc.cfg. If it does not work,
I will can back to here! Thank you for the help.

Paul,

I thank you for the attention and for the links. I will see them
carefully. We want to develop an API for voice access based on an
existing project.
The first phase is simply practice Pascal. I think some months will be
pass until we have sufficient experience to start.
Attatched there is some simple examples. We are producing example
codes in other to develop skills. The texts are in portuguese, but we
can esasily know what it does. If someone wants to contribute with any
example code, I will happy in receiving it.
