Because I'm not adding the RichMemo using the IDE, it doesn't
appear in
the main project source file. I've not tried adding the directory
containing the RichEdit to any of my paths, since Googling earlier
suggested this was a Really Bad Idea.
Can anybody tell me what obvious point I'm missing? :-)
You have to add the paths to richmemo and richmemo/gtk2 to the unit file
search path (-Fu) or the path to richmemo/lib/xyz-linux/ to the libraries
search path (-Fl). The latter only works if the richmemo was compiled before
(installed the package in the IDE .fe).
Thanks Ludo: compiles and links OK, so now all I've got to do is get it
working :-)
Thanks in particular for explaining both -Fu and -Fl, which is
particularly relevant bearing in mind the way I'm trying to build the app.
Don't know why this would be a Really Bad Idea. The unit path could lead to
lazarus rebuilding when you do a full build of your project which won't
happen when using the library path.
I could be misinterpreting things, I suspect the comment was
specifically about adding an extra path to the LCL.
