Hi

Could anybody give a hint on which fpc option to use to force compiler search .res files in some directory? I've added -vt switch and it shows that the only file name being searched is in the same directory of referring unit.

It looks like search paths for res files are not I correct? If yes, could it be fixed?

You can use full/relative path for resources: {$R /path/to/resource/file} or
{$R ../relative/resource/file}

Note however the bug for gorc (used in Win64) .rc files if the .rc file is not in the project directory:

Hi

Fortunately I don't use Windows when doing development for Windows :) Cross-compiling under Linux is way better.

Yes. I can.
The problem is that my .res files are not always in the same directory. My build scripts use separate dirs for every arch-os-debug combination.

Now the question to the compiler developers - will you accept my patch if I make .res to be searched in unit output directory (-FU)?

Add a separate -F{Some character} switch for resource search.
