That file links to many more libs trhat I don't have, which does not create a problem when building (it would of course not run). It's just that you happen to have a common.dll in the wrong place that makes the process grind to a halt. Notice that windows will allways find that dll, even if you set %path% to only the path of the compiler and make. I would suggest trying to remove the dll. Since it is used by the system you have to hunt down which service needs it. (That was the hard part IIRC. I think I also discussed this on the fpc-devel list, musty have been august this year, since around that time I created my "unlinkcommondll" utility as a workaround.) The shutdown and disable that service. The reboot. Then rename the dll (so that you can restore it in the unlikely event that your windows stops functioning). -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
