Hi,

I just tried to compile a test.pp file inside my /tmp directory. FPC
complained because there existed a /tmp/test/ directory!!

Is this a normal or known limitation of FPC? Or does the blame fall onto
the ld linker?

Of course this is normal. The compiler - or in this case the linker - tries to create a file "test" (as applications don't normally have an extension like on Windows) and as a directory "test" already exists that fails. So nothing special or buggy here (on Windows you could get a similar result by creating a directory "test.exe")

Regards,
Sven
