Hi,

When I compile one of my projects I get the following compiler/linking error. Any idea what causes this? If got the exact same FPC 2.2.3 revision for a 32bit system and a 64bit system. Under the 32bit system, everything compiles perfectly. Under the 64bit system, I get the following error.

I think you are using Dwarf debug information (the only debug information that is supported on linux/x86_64) together with smart linking, which is not yet supported. Your best option is probably to disable smart linking for debug builds.

Excellent! Thanks Jonas. I didn't notice that Compiler Option because I simply copied my project from the 32bit system to the 64bit system. That would also explain why small test projects compiled and linked fine while our actual product didn't.

Disabling debug settings or Smart Linking resolves the issue. Thanks again! :-)
