The ./configure command used by a lot of unix programs can list the
options
and possible values for them.
Note that ./configure can only do this if someone explicitly added
information about all of those options to the help text of a
particular configure script.
Do the make commands for Lazarus and FPC have
such an option?
No, nobody has written such a help text for the FPC or Lazarus
makefiles. There is some information in the documentation, but it
hasn't been updated in a long time and is both incomplete and largely
out of date.
For completeness - "make help" is supported for at least both the fpcbuild
and fpc Makefiles, but their content is limited to listing the Makefile
targets (and even that it somewhat outdated these days) and it does not
include any information about additional options modifying the overall
behaviour.
If anybody works on this please could they link to 24789 on Mantis which
is sitting there unassigned.
