I Have write the function (using ppc386 on WIN2000 System):

function GetMessData: integer;
type
  pak = record
	werte : String[23];
  end;
  PakFile = file of pak;
var
   i : integer;
   F : PakFile;
begin
  Assign(F,'C:\Temp\amag.txt');
  Reset(F);
end;

In the moment, there are not more line in the code of this function. compiling is ok.
but the linker send the error:
-:link.res: file format not recognized; treating as linker script -:link.res:1: parse error
unwucht.pp(165,1) ERROR: ERROR while linking
Closing script ppas.bat

Sorry. include/attach the link.res in the mail

Can you try to place the file in a directory with a shortname or maybe a directory without a ! in the name. The GNU ld has difficulties with strange/long directory names

Hi Peter,

i have changet the directory to version01 and the linker gif ok.

thanks
Armin

What is your link.res which you try to include using $i compiler directive? If it is a normal pascal include file, you have a names collision: FPC generates before calling of linker a linker response file named also link.res. Of course, this link.res is not a pascal source but is written in linker script language and, BTW, can begin from SEARCH_DIR keyword. Try to rename your link.res to prevent this file name conflict. BTW, .res extension is: 1) not typical for pascal include files; 2) typical for Windows resource files - that is a note for FPC developers team...

Are you sure that your linker is ldw for Win32?
ld's for different targets can have different script formats. 1) Try to compile and link separately (read -s compiler switch documentation); 2) Check targets supported by linker.
