Maybe the stuff worked because of other bugs in 1.0.6. The error messages are not added for fun to let ppl review their code. Most are there because the compiler can't continue or will generate wrong code. And the warnings will only help in finding bugs.
I wasn't criticizing anyone, only trying to relay the whole story (and part of the story is that I was only reverting back to an older version because the newer one was going to require more effort then I had time for at that moment).
Add -vt to see where ppc386 looks for the files.
Alright, this proved to be very beneficial! It told me where fpc was looking for the units, but I can't for the life of me figure out WHY it's looking there. Here's what -vt gave me the first time around:
BEFORE Compiler: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ppc386.exe Using executable path: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ Using unit path: c:\source\ Using library path: c:\source\ Using object path: c:\source\ Unitsearch: syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: \fpc\compiled\syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: syswin32.pp Unitsearch: syswin32.pas Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pp Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pas si.pas(56,1) Fatal: Can't find unit SYSWIN32
When I added "-Fuc:\fpc\units\win32\rtl" (with or without "-n" too) directly to my command line I got this:
AFTER Compiler: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ppc386.exe Using executable path: c:\fpc\bin\win32\ Using unit path: c:\source\ Using unit path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\ Using library path: c:\source\ Using library path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\ Using object path: c:\source\ Using object path: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\ Unitsearch: syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: \fpc\compiled\syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: syswin32.pp Unitsearch: syswin32.pas Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pp Unitsearch: c:\source\syswin32.pas Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.ppw PPU Loading c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.ppw Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.pp Unitsearch: c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl\syswin32.pas si.pas(56,1) Fatal: Can't find unit SYSWIN32
It seems to be looking in the correct spot now, and syswin32.ppw does indeed exist in the \fpc\units\win32\rtl directory, but it's still giving me the same error (and I'm assuming the message "PPU Loading" means it found the unit and loaded it, which would make it all the more confusing).
