The {$WAIT} compiler directive is meant to be used when compiling from commandline. Lazarus is a full blown GUI RAD tool. We capture and filter output by the compiler and show it in messages window, that's it. IMO: resolve as "won't fix" |

|
As discussed in the forum, the usage is insignificant but useful in some cases. Or at least, it is not a bad idea to inform the user why IDE hangs and shows a message (ask for key enter) that you can not do anything except stoping the compilation. https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,52377.0.html |

If you use {$WAIT} you are supposed to know what you are doing. If you know what you are doing, you know it really is a bad idea then to compile your application inside a GUI RAD. |
