FPC installs these ppu in two flavors:
apr, apriconv, aprutil, unzip
And httpd comes even in 3 flavors.

Most fpc.cfg only contain the line:
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
So it depends on the file system which one is used.

Is this a feature or a bug?

Lazarus found this with its new tests for common
misconfigurations (Compiler Options > Test).

I reported a bug:

I assigned the bug to myself.

First off, the headers were provided by Felipe, who insisted that they are treated on an equal basis. My personal preference was to use the MySQL system: unitname-version.pp. Since that is out, we have little possibility to force use of one or another.

So, how do you propose to solve this ?

One thing would be to add
#IFDEF HTTPD1_3
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/apache-1.3 #endif

(similar for others) to the FPC config file. Is this acceptable ?

No. Since that kills the possibility for recursion. All dirs are automatically already included by the *

It should work since adding a particular directory again at the end will let it override the previously added ones. Still dirty, though.

For me this is better for people using the bindings, but I didn't think at the time that fpc would put all object files on the same directory.

In that case I think that we can be more flexible and rename the units, if necessary.

thanks,
