Type 
   txt_typ = packed array[0..1] of char; 
 
Const 
   txt1: txt_typ = '12'; 

without the parenthesis should work.

Re: [fpc-pascal] Linking Pascal code to C/C++ static libraries under Windows

I would also have thought that with all the object formats that GCC emits, 
that one of them would be the object format used by VC, in which case using 
VC's linker would work.


However, I was able to get a DLL compiled that I could link up and run 
(without getting an error that the DLL was missing when the program started.)


I hope to get some time in the next few days to put together a simple 
tutorial/sample showing how to do it.


Thanks Marco, for the help!

Out of curiosity - is this limitation related to different object library
format used/supported by GCC and VC, or yet something else? If it's just
the format, there might be tools to translate from one format to another
(although there might be limitations, of course), or it _might_ be
possible (with some manual tweaking - for sure not easy) to use a linker
supporting both formats (I'd expect OpenWatcom Linker to be able to do
it)...

Well, I didn't think about this path (compiling FPC program to MS 
object file format and using the MS linker), although _in_theory_ 
this might be an option too by using one of external assemblers 
supported in FPC which would be capable of creating the required 
object format (e.g. NASM?) for MS linker (I'd expect even more 
problems there, though).

Glad to hear that you have succeeded.
