Hello

I just upgraded to the 1.0.6 compiler and tried to compile a program that was compiling without any problem in the 1.0.4 compiler. When I try to compile now, I get the following message:

Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.6 [2002/04/23] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2002 by Florian Klaempfl
Target OS: Win32 for i386
Compiling tsuris.pas
Linking tsuris.exe
link.res: file not recognized: File format not recognized tsuris.pas(280,1) Error: Error while linking
Closing script ppas.bat

I don't have a link.res that I've made. It seems that the linker is creating this file for me. I have no idea what's supposed to be in this file. Is something amiss here? Is there something I can do to make this work?

Thanks.

Probably you have a package with some of the same binaries like FPC (probably cygwin/djgpp/mingw) in your path before FPC. Iow takes a wrong linker or other tool from a non FPC package.

Nope.

This is the only compiler/linker type thing installed on a brandy-new Windows XP system.

Is fpc installed in a directory with spaces in the name? Please provide the generated link.res file

FPC is in Z:\private\FPC\

Here is link.res:

I guess it's this line that is causing the problem. Try renaming the unit name.
