Usage
Add Paths to dependent packages / project
All these paths are not used by this package itself, but they are added to the appropriate paths of the packages/projects, that use this package. These are called inherited paths. For example: Package A needs Package B needs Package C. All usage options of C are appended to the options of B and A.
For example almost all packages inherit their output directory, so that any package, that uses this package, finds the .ppu files.
You can see, what paths are inherited from other packages/projects in the compiler options dialog.
Unit
These paths are separated by semicolon, can contain macros, and are appended to the unit paths of all packages/projects, which use/require this package. The unit path is used by the IDE and the compiler to search for pascal units (.pas, .pp, .ppu).
Include
Same as the unit path, but for the include path - include files.
Object
Same as the unit path, but for the object path (.o files).
Library
Same as the unit path, but for the library path (linker files).
Add options to dependent packages and projects
Linker
These options are separated by space, can contain macros and are appended to the linker options of all packages/projects, which use/require this package. Line breaks are converted to spaces. Several spaces are treated as one, except if they are enclosed by quotes.
Custom
These options are separated by space, can contain macros and are appended to the custom options of all packages/projects, which use/require this package. Line breaks are converted to spaces. Several spaces are treated as one, except if they are enclosed by quotes.
