Can a unit be used in a package conditionally?
« on: August 31, 2018, 03:02:42 pm »
Zeos compilation is currenty broken in Linux.
I reported it to their bugtracker (see here), and they are asking if there is a way to include a unit in a package conditionally.

The problem is that Lazarus package is xml, not pascal, so IFDEF cannot be used.

Is it possible somehow? If not, can someone propose a simple workaround?

Thanks in advance.

Seems they found some workaround (see in link from my original post). :)

It is currently not possible. The only workaround is to include all needed code and then enable/disable parts of it using IFDEFs.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

What are the consequences of only having an build unit in the package?

Other then maybe the "publish" feature?
