I noticed that somewhere since baseunix times Linux/glibc updated all basic types that were still 16-bit to 32-bit. FPC didn't notice it, since the x86 stat record is a typeless hack. However for e.g. the password functions this needs to be corrected.
Does sb know when this conversion happened ? *or* if you have a fairly old or 32-bit non x86 linux distro, try compiling + running the following program: #include <sys/types.h> int main() { printf("%d %d %d",sizeof(uid_t),sizeof(gid_t),sizeof(mode_t)); } It should print 4 4 4 _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
