Sometimes with Lazarus you get *no* smartlinked units on Win32. Which installation/ide are you using for FPC, just FP-IDE or commandline, or Lazarus? If you do need to recompile your units, use the OPT="-CX" with the "make" command. But you really shouldn't have to do this, unless you are using Lazarus win32 and you want to rebuild the default non-smartlinked shipment. .A, .O, .ppu files and etc. will be in a special folder called "units", whereas the source code is actually in several directories all over the place. The "units" directory is more like a "build output" directory for storage of the object/binary files. Example: C:\pascal\FPC_2.0.2\units\i386-win32\rtl\ This is where my .A files are for Winblows. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
