I have had exactly the same problem on Win64 building 32-bit fpc. The culprit was the file packages\oracle\src\oraoci.pp As it turned out the common.dll was in the wrong folder (64-bit in a 32-bit folder or vice-versa). Most likely by a buggy installer of sorts. I have been fiddling with the system and found a way to remove that dll, not even sure how I succeeded. After disabling the dll and then removing it my Win10-64 just runs fine. And compiling fpc (32-bit) was OK again. Before I succeeded in that, I even wrote a simple program that altered packages\oracle\src\oraoci.pp so it would build correctly and the restore it after build (I was getting a bit desperate and frustrated). -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
