And then to offer some more help with more confusions Question: But I thought DCC was just a command line compiler available? Answer: Yes, but it is the compiler that you are using in the Delphi ide, just that it is compiled into the delphi ide Question: So is FPC compiled into Lazarus? Answer: It is integrated so that it feels this way, but it is just called as a separate process.
