Hello there! Sorry for being late on the topic.
The following link directs to the forum item that I opened when trying to re-compile FD-KEYB under FPC. Basically, KEYB needs to use different procedures to store a key in the buffer, depending on the parameters and system configuration. The problem occurs when I need to select the adequate key storing procedure to a variable that will be called from the assembly bit. It also occurs in some other parts. In order to make the program small, I am compiling it under the compact mode. I tried it and had this error last October, and as no one posted a reply, I haven't tried it again, but can do it (or maybe someone here can guess where the problem is). I get a problem using both the standar or the TP mode, and doing @Procedure or without the @. You can read the full details here, maybe someone has a hint: Far pointer versus Pointer in 16-bit DOS (freepascal.org) <https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,60973.msg457397.html#msg457397> Thanks in advance, Aitor On Mon, 13 Nov 2023 at 00:40, Rugxulo via Freedos-devel < freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, Nov 12, 2023 at 5:46 AM Bernd Böckmann via Freedos-devel > <freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > > > On 12.11.2023 02:44, Rugxulo via Freedos-devel wrote: > > > > But I still have not found an elegant solution yet to do a widening > conversion of an untyped pointer from near to far. > > Should be rarely needed though.
