It can call it. For example as "execute before".

When dcc uses the same format "filename(line,column) message" the
IDE will jump to notes and errors.

The FPC command line parameters are different. You have to pass the
parameters by yourself. Some IDE macros might help, like the $Proj*
macros.

The IDE does not have a parser for the output. So it cannot fetch the
defines needed for parsing. You can use the Tools / Codetools defines
editor to set them.

Quickfixes might not recognize the message.
