Library paths and templates
lazarus / 11-Options

As a long time Delphi user i've come used to Library path setting that
isn't project dependant but same paths works for every project. I have
.pas libraries for my graphics engine, network etc and just want easy
way to program with them.

I do want to keep the folder structure so files don't get mixed,
meaning i can't mix them with lazarus or freepascal units whereever
they are located, and when i tried to put them in
D:\pascal\lazarus\lcl\lib\synapse
the compiler didn't find them (subdirectories) unless added in
project's compiler settings.

There are couple folders i need to add for most projects and 1 way i
could think of would be adding them to compiler settings "Other Unit
files" -> Path templates. But i don't see a way to edit templates and
couldn't find them with raw text search either.

I put my libraries in the RTL directory and it finds it without
problem. BTW the RTL is in the FPC's directory, not in the Lazarus'
one.

Thanks, RTL directory works without adding stuff to project settings 

But it didn't allow Lazarus to ctrl+click to open them from uses list
so adding them in main settings -> Codetools and
$(LazarusDir)\fpc\2.2.4\source\rtl\...All individual directories
separated by ;
and it now lets do that aswell. (Doesn't work for sub dirs)

Edit: No.. that would've been too simple. Made new project and
compiler doesn't find units anymore. Tried in both fpc's rtl folders
without success.
