Not sure anymore that this is the correct title.

My previous analysis was not (completely?) correct. I thought the issue
was that TMsgDlgButtons was removed from fpc when we removed gtk1 code.
But now I actually got a copy of the mricron code, I notice that it has
its own code (smells like a copy) to generate that. It is a set of
TMsgDlBtn and that is also defined by itself:
TMsgDlgBtn = (mbYes, mbNo, mbOK, mbCancel, mbAbort, mbRetry, mbIgnore,
mbAll, mbNoToAll, mbYesToAll, mbHelp);
I have no clue what could be wrong with the following code (my Pascal is
not that great) but maybe someone here sees it:
"""
function MsgDlg(const Msg: string; DlgType: TMsgDlgType; Buttons:
TMsgDlgButtons; HelpCtx: Longint): Word;
{$IFDEF GUI}
var
lDlgType : Dialogs.TMsgDlgType;
lButtons: Dialogs.TMsgDlgButtons;
begin
lDlgType := Dialogs.TMsgDlgType(DlgType);
lButtons:= Dialogs.TMsgDlgButtons(Buttons);
result := MessageDlg(Msg, lDlgType, lButtons,HelpCtx);
{$ELSE}
"""
I can't see where the dialogs unit is getting the TMsgDlgButtons method
or function or procedure or whatever it is called in Pascal from.
