Libraries or object files? FPC does similiar testing for C linking: the C sources are checked in into http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/tests/test/cg/obj/ Compiled object files lay in the appropriate sub dir of this dir. Testing C++ class linking should be done similiar imo. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
