I can set LCLWidgetType:=qt5 in an extra build mode. But i was asking myself why not use something like this:unit Config; interface {$IFDEF linux} const WidgetType = 'qt5'; {$ELSE} const WidgetType = 'gtk2'; {$ENDIF} implementation end.include this unit in uses clause of mainform ... has no effect ! Ok, but why ?
The LCLWidgetType is an IDE macro. The package lcl has some conditionals to add unit paths and for some widgettypes linker options. If you want to compile a lcl app without Lazarus/lazbuild and without passing command line options, then you could add unit paths to the source. You loose comfort - you have been warned.
