[fpc-devel] Lazarus: A new widgest set

I found that when changing the widget set at one of the pages it is 
changed accordingly at the other page. So in effect there seems to be 
only one setting.

What does this mean ? Did you just try my "diff" or did you add some 
functionality

Please see my post to Micha for an explanation of what I think this is 
useful for. Once I might have a truly embedded target architecture for 
FP (Linux/NIOS) the significance will be obvious.

IMHO, that is just a problem of documentation. Of course I'll write some 
Docu for this once it in fact should be included in the standard 
distribution. In fact I don't understand fpGUI right now (but it does 
not confuse me at all). Maybe I should read the Docu on that one. IMHO 
it's a pity that the menus in Lazarus don't have "Help" buttons that 
link to the appropriate documentation or Wiki pages (similar as LCL 
components do with F1), so that documentation on those topics can be 
provided.

I did try to understand the "CGIApplication" but failed to create a 
testing example due to lack of Docu (and some bigs that I did report to 
the bugtracker).

I'm sure you are right with that. I did modify two Makefile.fps's 
accordingly. I suppose I additionally need to create a Makefile.fpc in 
the new nogui directory.

But I don't know how to create the Makefiles form these (supposedly 
using fpcmake ???)
