I am trying to setup an FTP client using the ICS tFTPClient but not have been too successful. It cannot link ZLibObj without getting the error : "Error: Illegal COFF Magic while reading C:\xxxxx\zobj123\adler32.obj". I have done lots of googling, but found no solution, Except to recompile the objects. But, I have no source.
I have used other ICS components with no problems. Has anyone found a solution to this?

I'm guessing objs were compiled with MS C compiler? I think they're not compatible. If this is ZLib then you can get sources, say from http://www.zlib.net/ and rebuild using MinGW into a library, then link with this library.

In our previous episode, said:

Change the source to use paszlib instead whatever solution it tries to use from Delphi that is not 100% source.

Any specific reason why it must be ICS components? If you can use alternative components, then you could try Indy or lNet. I believe they are more FPC friendly.

ICS actually was the first socketsuite ported. (it was still D1 compatible, and thus required less language features)

As long as you realise it is win32(and maybe win64) only, there is no problem

That's what I meant about "fpc friendly". As far as I knew ICS was quite Windows specific, where-as Indy and lNet are not. One never knows if you are later going to need cross-platfrom support in a project - at which time some of your chosen components do not need to be replaced.

Or Synapse.

The reason is mainly that I have used it for a ling time with delphi and I am used to it.
No other reason really.

I did manage to get it working though.
