Hi, Given that I have fpctrunk installed in c:\pp This implies that there is a c:\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl folder and in that folder there is (a.o.) the file system.ppu Now I have a test.pas file that simply consists of "begin end." When I add c:\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl to the units path (yes, I know that is stupid, but please have a little patience, you'll find out why later on) and then try to compile test.pas I get confusing results: (SYSTEM) Loading unit SYSTEM (SYSTEM) PPU Name: C:\devel\fpc\3.2.0\units\i386-win32\rtl\system.ppu (SYSTEM) PPU Invalid Header (no PPU at the begin) (SYSTEM) PPU Name: C:\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl\system.ppu (SYSTEM) PPU Time: 2020/03/31 22:15:34 (SYSTEM) PPU Flags: 4224 (SYSTEM) PPU Crc: 5E999730 (SYSTEM) PPU Crc: E5978BE9 (intfc) (SYSTEM) PPU Crc: E4BD4DAF (indc) (SYSTEM) Number of definitions: 3470 (SYSTEM) Number of symbols: 9654 ...

Not so for fpc 3.2.0 RC1.
It does try to load the one in fpc.cfg, but it is invalid: (SYSTEM) PPU Name: C:\devel\fpc\3.2.0\units\i386-win32\rtl\system.ppu (SYSTEM) PPU Invalid Header (no PPU at the begin) Now it tries the one you specified: (SYSTEM) PPU Name: C:\pp\units\i386-win32\rtl\system.pp Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
