I've been trying to compile with Free Pascal Text IDE, I have no experience with compiling programs from the command line, but this gave me an idea to try it from command line instead. First, I thought I would start clean, and I re-installed Free Pascal and left the directory structure alone, and just changed the drive to H: where I have a lot of room. I suspect it did not like the space I had in my directory name. From the new install of FPC 3.0.2 on my H Drive, I was able to successfully follow the instructions and I finally managed to compile ptcpas-code-715-trunk. I was also able to compile the examples and they executed correctly. So I used the command line used to compile one of the examples, and put the whole path of ptcpas in and I was finally able to successfully compile my test program with the following command line: h:/FPC/3.0.2/bin/i386-Win32/ppc386.exe -Fuh:/ptcpas-code-715-trunk/units/i386-win32/ -FE. -FUh:/ptcpas-code-715-trunk/units/i386-win32 -di386 dual-key-screen.pas When I compiled It this way, I am now able to ALT-Tab from the graph window and when I return everything is fine, so this proves the problem has been solved, but integrating the solution into my compiler is the problem. I am trying to get it to work from the Free Pascal text mode IDE but when I add h:\ptcpas-code-715-trunk\units\i386-win32 to the list of unit directories in the Free Pascal text IDE and try to compile my program, I get: PPU Loading H:\ptcpas-code-715-trunk\units\i386-win32\ptcgraph.ppu ║ PPU Source: ptcgraph.pp not found ║ PPU Source: graphh.inc not available ║ PPU Source: graph.inc not available ║ PPU Source: fontdata.inc not available ║ PPU Source: clip.inc not available ║ PPU Source: palette.inc not available ║ PPU Source: modes.inc not available ║ PPU Source: fills.inc not available ║ PPU Source: gtext.inc not available ║ Recompiling ptcgraph, checksum changed for ptc ║ dual-key-screen.pas(3,6) Fatal: Can't find unit ptcgraph used by KeyTestWin.p ║ dual-key-screen.pas(0) Fatal: Compilation aborted How do I properly use the FreePascal Text mode IDE to use the ptcpas units I compiled? My entries under directories > Units are: H:\ptcpas-code-715-trunk\units\i386-win32 h:\FPC\3.0.2\units\$fpctarget h:\FPC\3.0.2\units\$fpctarget\* h:\FPC\3.0.2\units\$fpctarget\rtl All other directories tabs are blank Thanks for the help James -----Original Message----- From: fpc-pascal [mailto:fpc-pascal-boun...@lists.freepascal.org] On Behalf Of Ewald Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2017 2:03 PM To: FPC-Pascal users discussions <fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org> Subject: Re: [fpc-pascal] [FPC-Pascal] FPC Graphics options?

Just like you now use -FuSomePath to tell the compiler where to find units, you can use -FiSomePath to tell the compiler where to look for include files. See `fpc -h`, under the section "-F<x> Set file names and paths:" for a list of other related switches. -- Ewald _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
