'strace' is not available/supported by 64-bit FreeBSD (only 32-bit FreeBSD). But I did remember that FPC has a very verbose output option. Amazingly that -v parameter did make FPC output more details - so at least FPC does seem to read my -v options (at least some of them). Here is a very small snippet of what I got from using the -vav parameter. ...snip... [0.000] Macro defined: CPUAMD64 [0.000] Macro defined: CPU64 [0.000] Configfile search: /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg [0.000] Reading options from file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg [0.000] Start of reading config file /home/graemeg/.fpc.cfg [0.000] interpreting file option "#" [0.000] interpreting file option "# Example fpc.cfg for Free Pascal Compiler" ...snip... That is the only config file it found and loaded. That config file contains a -v- option, but even removing that option completely makes no difference. Could this be a bug in the FreeBSD version of FPC? That some of the -v options simply don't work under FreeBSD? Could somebody else with FreeBSD access test the -v parameter? That way we can confirm if it is something odd on my system (and I'll keep searching), or a general FPC issue. > secondly: There is no {$HINTS ON} or so in the sources ? I never use that option inside units. But to made double sure, I just did a search, and can confirm no such directive exists in any of the source code I'm trying to compile.
