It is part of the default fpc.cfg. The * includes all subdirs. The compiler does not know all paths by default. That is a design decission. Because it is unknown which other packages the fcl depends on since that is different per target. -Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget -Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/* -Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
