In a delphi app I came across the following syntax;
with PropInfo^, PropType^^ doWhich results in a "Error: Illegal qualifier". Has anyone an idea of what is meant here and how to port that to FPC? I'm puzzled.

You have to check the definition carefully. IIRC fpc has one indirection less, (giving not exact names, but just to describe the situation): PropType is a a pointer to TPropType in fpc and a pointer to pointer to TPropType in Delphi.

There is an extra (or was it one less ?) dereference needed for PropInfo^, I think. This is a known issue, which we're not going to solve: it has to do with the internal storage of the RTTI information.
People should use the functions in the TypInfo unit to retrieve this information. You can find there what the exact difference is between FPC/Delphi structures. AFAIK there is only 1.

with PropInfo^, PropType^^ do [...]
is the same as
with PropInfo^ do begin
with PropType^^ do begin
[...]
end;
end;but is extremely horrible code. Try changing it to that and any further errors should become clearer.
