Description:
In Project > Compiler Options > Compilation tab there is a checkbox option to "Create makefile". This could possibly be changed to "Create fpmake file". Lazarus IDE could then generate the fpmake.pas file based on the .lpi information.
This will then replace lazbuild, which could then be discontinued. After all, for lazbuild to work, you need an .lpi file. To get an .lpi file, you had to load Lazarus IDE at some point and manage a project. So Lazarus IDE could just as well use the new (recommended) build system for command line compiling and generate for the developer a fpmake.pas unit (as requested in the Compilation tab).
This would then replace Makefile's and the need for lazbuild.
