it does. Delphi IDE passes extra assumptions/directories that the commandline tool does not know about (for instance $(DELPHI)/Projects/Bpl). Juha's idea is the way Borland did it with D7. That is: a shared lib with api & a commandline tool. Unfortunately the DLL is not linked from the cmdline tool, so it seems those 2 are separately compiled and statically linked with 'the same' code. Donno for sure if that still is the case with 2010/XE. kind regards, Dimitri Smits _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
