Description:
Standard installation goes to a write-protected directory on *nix systems.
If "Clean all" is checked in Configure Build Lazarus dialog, rebuilding gives an error:
---
This set of options to build Lazarus is not supported by this installation.
The directory "/usr/share/lazarus/1.2RC2/" is not writable.
See the Lazarus website for other ways to install Lazarus.
---
Suggested fix: hide "Clean all" when installation dir is write-protected.
Even better is to hide the whole "Clean up" groupbox as the "Clean common files" is very seldom needed. The automatic build logic works practically always in a standard installation.
This would also make the Configure Build Lazarus dialog less intimidating for new users.
