This is the trunk compiler. I point it (erroneously) tot the system.ppu of fpc3.2.0RC1 It finds it, determines it's invalid, and then proceeds to find the correct one (specified in fpc.cfg of the trunk compiler) and succesfully builds the test program. (I did not iclude the snippet where it finds the correct one, since I thought this would be obvious, as it succeeds in compiling) Michale then replied: > Indeed, sorry. The many outputs seem to have confused me. To which I later replied: The question remains: why a fatal error if fpc 3.2.0 encounters the system.ppu of fpc trunk, where fpc 3.0.4 does not. Is that a bug in fpc 3.2.0RC1?
