Hi everyone,
I have a slightly annoying error when building the compiler for i386-win32. I
mentioned it to Sven a while ago, and the cause is due to the fact that my copy
of common.dll is 64-bit, not 32-bit (as Sven confirmed for me).
Compiling .\oracle\src\oraoci.pp
oraoci.pp(1437) Error: Invalid DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\common.dll, invalid
header size
oraoci.pp(1437) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Simply commenting out "{$linklib common}" on line 19 of the above file fixes
the problem. I would like to propose that this error be changed to a warning, since
apparently not having the library present doesn't cause issues for compilation, just
possibly execution later on.
No. If you have a messed up system, that is not *our* fault.
But isn’t the complaint valid to a certain degree: if one cross compiles from
x86_64-win64 to i386-win32, then the wrong DLLs are checked due to folder
redirection, no? We have only code in place for the other direction (i386-win32
to x86_64-win64).
The weird behaviour of windows is is not a valid reason to remove a {$linklib}
statement.
