Hi,

when i try to compile lazarus i get a error message "absolute can only be associated with a var or const"
did someone have an idea why this happens?

do i have to be in a special Pascal language mode, to compile lazarus?

# Pascal language mode
# -Mfpc free pascal dialect (default)
# -Mobjfpc switch some Delphi 2 extensions on # -Mdelphi tries to be Delphi compatible
# -Mtp tries to be TP/BP 7.0 compatible # -Mgpc tries to be gpc compatible
# -Mmacpas tries to be compatible to the macintosh pascal dialects

You need either a svn version of Lazarus or a compiler < 2.3.1

see r12878

Any entry in bug tracker about this? I'd like to know a workaround since I can't have LNet installed due to this issue (or improvement?).
