I'm trying to avoid removing the $linklib statement, but currently it's
the only way to build the i386-win32 compiler on my 64-bit system. I'm
suggesting turning the error into a warning, if the correct DLL can't be
found, because it doesn't affect successful compilation of the unit.
Of course, being able to locate the correct 32-bit DLL or some such is
better overall, although I would still propose a warning over an error.

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.
Michael.
