Hello,

I've encountered a problem with the command line version of the compiler for OS/2.  It only appears to occur when the compiler attempts to recompile sub-units and the source code is on a FAT formatted hard drive.  When the source code is on a HPFS or JFS formatted drive, the problem doesn't appear.  The versions of OS/2 doesn't appear to matter, as I've encountered  the same problem with OS/2 Warp 4, 4.5 and EComStation 1.2.

Thanks for your consideration.
Paul.

Here is an example of the error the compiler puts out...

Hello Paul,

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce the problem with the simplest case. My test scenario is as follows: FPC 3.2.0 including the RTL installed on an HPFS partition, source code of a simple test program and a very simple test unit placed in the same directory on a FAT(16) partition, compiler invoked from that directory, first compiled the test program, than slightly modified the unit source and recompiled the test program (and thus the unit was recompiled as well). Could you provide me with more details of your scenario, please?

Thanks
