try to delete all of your ppu files in the lcl and lazarus directories and then compile.

Cliff

Yeah, I did that, no go. The other funny thing is that if I compile the controls.pp from the lcl directory only, i.e. not in the uses clause but directly from the command line, then the compile works.

Do we think this is an fpc kind of thing?

Ned did that work?

Cliff

Hi,

I just rebuilt everything from CVS, and in working on my project I get the following messages during compilation:

Compiling /opt/fpc/lazarus/lcl/controls.pp
openfiledialog.inc(214,16) Fatal: Invalid PPU-File entry: 15

then it bails out.

The module I'm actually trying to compile is incredibly simple as follows:

unit UBrowser;
{$mode objfpc}
interface

uses
Windows, Mewssages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,

  Menus, StdCtrls, Buttons, ComCtrls, Grids, ExtCtrls;

type
  TBrowserForm = class(TForm)
  private
  public
  end;
var
  BrowserForm: TBrowserForm;
implementation
end.

Ignoring the fact that I may have to stub some of these units for a bit, what's happening with this error message, any clues?

Ned

Sigh, no, I tried again, and it still craps out, any other suggestions?

I would also check your paths to make sure everything is pointing to the right places. Check the /etc/ppc386.cfg (or wherever it is on Win32 if you are developing there instead of Linux) file and make sure all the paths in it are correct. Anytime I get strange errors like that, it is usually either a .ppu file hanging around somewhere that I didn't delete, or a path problem in the /etc/ppc386.cfg file. Did you add -Fu/opt/fpc/lazarus/lcl to your ppc386.cfg file? Now that we have the lcl directory, the compiler needs to know how to find it.

Just a couple of ideas to check.

after changing the uses clause?

what compiler verison are you using?

Cliff

 SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
 Menus, StdControls, Buttons, ComCtrls, ExtCtrls;

try this in your uses clause once. this is the stuff that is actually implemented at the moment.
