The order of folders where to search for included files should be
related to user preference as follows:
1. directory where the input is located,
2. directories supplied by user at command line in the order they were
passed,
3. default system directories, where distributions used to put them.
This way, user can easily override files in the default system
directories without the need to have write access to such folder, as in
most Unix systems this will require root access.
Also, one expects, that if copy of an included file is placed in the
same directory as the input one, then this copy should be used.
This makes sens, because people generally work on the same directory,
and will consider their local work copy the preferred one to be used.

Welcome to Lazarus
Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for Free Pascal. It comes with the LCL - Lazarus component library, which contains platform independent visual components like buttons, windows, checkbox, treeview and many, many more. The LCL is platform independent, so you can write an application once and then compile for various platforms without changing code.
Free Pascal is a fast Object Pascal compiler, that runs on more than 20 platforms (Linux, Windows, BSD, OS/2, DOS, PowerPC, and many more).
The LCL currently supports:
- Linux/FreeBSD (GTK2, Qt4, Qt5 and Qt6)
- all flavors of Windows (even WinCE)
- macOS (Cocoa, Carbon, GTK2, Qt4, Qt5, Qt6)
There is an experimental support for:
- GTK3
- Solaris
The LCL still contains code for GTK1, although this target is obsolete.
Compilation
You don't need ./configure, just do
make clean bigide (gmake clean bigide in BSD).
This will create the Lazarus executable with a lot of packages. Start it and enjoy.
If the above gives an error, you can try to build a minimal IDE with
make clean all (gmake clean all in BSD).
Installation and Requirements
See Lazarus Wiki for details.
Usage
Start the IDE with:
cd your/lazarus/directory
./lazarus
Documentation
The official site is www.lazarus-ide.org. Documents about specific topics can be found at https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation. Examples on how to use the LCL can be found in the examples directory. Help, documents and files about Free Pascal are at www.freepascal.org.
Mailing list
There is a very active and helpful mailing list for Lazarus, where the developers interact, share ideas, discuss problems, and of course answer questions. You can subscribe at http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus.
How to help Lazarus
If you find bugs, don't hesitate to use issue tracker, or send an email to the list. Lazarus source code and issue tracker are located at GitLab.
