Re: Should Delphi be able to export projects to FPC?

"Graeme Geldenhuys"
I can't see how this can be considered a weakness?? What do you do with a
compiler and IDE? You develop software. Can anybody write software that
is bug free, first time round? NO. So, you need to debug it as you
develop.... which means, you need DEBUG information on!

Until recent versions of FPC/Lazarus IDE the -Xs option wasn't working
properly and you had to run the strip manually which was not a good thing.
The weakness is that Lazarus doesn't offer a way to distinctly separate
RELEASE and DEBUG builds. Which I beleive must be implemented in future
releases.

Once you app is complete and tested and ready for shipping, THEN ONLY do
you remove/disable debug information and create a stripped down
executable.

Yes, but wouldn't it be better to simply switch it from DEBUG mode to
RELEASE instead of manually adjusting some switches that you may not
remember always.
