Freepascal is a great compiler, Lazarus is a good IDE but hard to make things to work, as you experienced and we wish. Stefanos is a Pascal genius who wrote a GIS/CAD software named Gaia in the past, and tired of waiting to see Lazarus to work as it should, forked it, and created tools to make it work “the easy way” with all those scripts and configs and “Code Typhon Center” to manage and integrate it all, and integrated many public packages (DB, reports, pdf, etc), and tested it in many OS’s and fixed many things. This is a super Lazarus he named “Code Typhon” with Everything Including the Kitchen Sink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhon (Τυφῶν : greek), and besides Typhon not being Typhoon, he plays with it as you see with the icons.
