Buenas staff (this message was send to Editor section of the forum, but nobody answered yet, sou I hope you can help me)

I am organizing my package of utilities, for ease of maintenance here. But I have a very annoying problem in Laz 9.0.29-24657/FPC 2.4.0

The package compiles without problems, but the IDE is lost when using CodeCompletion unit and shows no errors found, as follows:

Code:

H:\#Projects\Lazarus_FPC\GuioUtils\GForms\gdefaultform.pas (9.26) Error: unit not found: GDatabaseCheck

Notice that the folder of the package is GuioUtils and has subfolders like GForms example. In this case, the subfolder within GDatabaseCheck is GDatabase. All paths are defined in the "compiler options" package on the lines "Other files of units" and "Other sources"

I was already on the link:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Unit_not_found_-_How_to_find_unitslooking for some solution but nothing worked.

Any suggestions of what to do?

That hug.

Is the # really there?

"Other sources" is only for units, that the compiler should not find, but only the IDE. See here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Compiler_Options#Other_sources

If I understand your text correct you have this file layout:

H:\#Projects\Lazarus_FPC\GuioUtils\
xyz.lpk
GDatabase\
GDatabaseCheck.pas
GForms\
gdefaultform.pas

Then your "Other Unit Files" in the compiler options of your package should be:

GDatabase;GForms

Note: Order and trailing path delimiters do not matter.

Thanks for the useful info, Mattias

I've done the settings and updated the lazarus with the last version today + fpc 2.4.3.

Everything is ok now, inclusive other issues on packages and units (of the used components) that needed to be open to use codetools.

That hug!

What did you wrong?

This information would help to improve the wiki and/or the IDE.

I've got an "old" bug on Lazarus IDE that when any 3rd's component (zeos, etc) is dropped into a form, I can change properties, compile, all ok.
But, if I go coding, using the code completion or identifier completion the ide raises an error: xxxx unit not found, and the "hyperlink" of the identifier such TZDataset or other don't appear when the mouse's pointer is over the text. The only way was add the unit of the component to the project and let it opened in the editor. This way, the ide worked with codetools ok.
Now, with the last update, this error gone.

I've posted this bug in the forum and in this list some months ago, but nothing worked.

Have you created a bug report?

Mattias

No, I didn't. :-[
