Messages problem
lazarus / 1-Linux

When I compile an fpc project with the messages option (e.g. -vr or
-va), I see the messages fly by in the Messages window during
compilation, but at the end of compilation I can only see the last one
or two lines of messages and the rest of the messages are no longer
accessible. Is this:

1) By design?
2) A known bug or unintended feature?
3) An unknown bug or unintended feature?
4) Due to some setting that I'm too dumb to find?

It seems like it's by design. I don't think that is good. For example,
when I compile one of my programs at the terminal with the following
parameters:

Code: [Select]fpc -Sd -B -ostateman -vr main.dpr

I get the following output:

Code: [Select]Free Pascal Compiler version 1.9.8 [2005/04/11] for i386

Linking stateman
5289 Lines compiled, 0.3 sec

If I do the same in Lazarus with the same compiler options I see some
messages fly by in the messages window during compilation, but after
compilation, the only message I see and can access in the messages
window is:

Code: [Select]Project "main" successfully built. :)

There should at least be an option to retrieve the same output from
fpc that you would get on a terminal.
