Maybe I was a little imprecise.
There is a UnitPath and a SrcPath. The UnitPath is given to the compiler.
The SrcPath is an extra information for the IDE, that means the IDE uses
UnitPath _and_ SrcPath to find units.
And then there are the CompiledSrcPaths.
For example:
A package pkg1 has its .pas directories (.;src1/;src2/) and one output
directory (units/) for the .ppu.
For pkg1 the UnitPath is .;src1;src2 and the SrcPath is empty.
That means, the IDE defines for the directories '.', 'src1' and 'src2' the
UnitPath '/path/to/pkg1;/path/to/pkg1/src1;/path/to/pkg1/src2'.
And it defines for the output directory '/path/to/pkg1/units' the
CompiledSrcPath /path/to/pkg1;/path/to/pkg1/src1;/path/to/pkg1/src2.
EVery project or package using pkg1, inherites the UnitPath addition
'/path/to/pkg1/units' - the output directory of pkg1.
When codetools searches a unit, it looks up for every directory in the
UnitPath, if there is a CompiledSrcPath.
It then adds the CompiledSrcPath to the current SrcPath.
This system keeps the shown paths in the compiler options small and the user
don't need to worry about SrcPath.
Formerly the CompiledSrcPath was only added, if the codetools find a .ppu in
the directory. So, the IDE failed just as FPC would have failed. I guess,
that's what you spotted, misinterpreted and why you extended the search
paths.
That's why I decided to change that, and because I rewrote this week the
unit search methods in the codetools and committed it some hours ago, the
IDE will now find more sources.
