I just copied over a project I have been working on in Windows using Lazarus 2.0.8/FPC 3.0.4.
The "copy" was done through Subversion (commit in Windows, update in Linux).

On Windows the project builds OK (but with incomplete code so it will not yet work).
On Linux I get this error:

SSRemoteServerLx.lpr(36,3) Fatal: Cannot find class_SSremoteServer
used by SSRemoteServerLx of the Project Inspector.

SSRemoteServerLx is the project name and the lpr file name.

And the file class_SSremoteServer.pas opens just fine in the code editor and it is located in the project source dir together with all the other project files...

Why does Lazarus on Linux complain like this?
Note:
I started the project on Linux, then checked it in to SVN and out to Windows, where I have spent a week on it. Now committed the changes and went back to Linux only to find this strange error...

Since the file IS available in the source dir and since the Lazarus code editor can find it I fail to understand why Lazarus complains when I try to test build the code.

Can someone please suggest where to look for a solution?

Can case be involved in the file names vs. uses clauses? I was under the assumption that Pascal/FPC/Lazarus are case-insensitive...

No, fpc searches on Linux mixed case, lower case, upper case.

Compile with -vt to find out what files fpc searches and finds.

Do you mean that fpc treats class_SSremoteServer and class_SSRemoteServer as different units?
Or do you mean it treats them as the same unit?

Compile with -vt to find out what files fpc searches and finds.

It turns out that the problem was a case error after all. The message was:

SSRemoteServerLx.lpr(36,3) Fatal: Cannot find class_SSremoteServer
used by SSRemoteServerLx of the Project Inspector.

And the actual file on disk was named class_SSRemoteServer.pas

After I changed he identifier in the uses clause from class_SSremoteServer
to
class_SSRemoteServer

then Lazarus moved on to the next such typo which I could fix in the same way...

So it looks like it is case sensitive on Linux...

A bit of both. You cannot have both in the same program. But FPC does not search any case on Linux, so you have to either use lowercase filenames (like most Lazarus and FPC sources) or make sure that all uses sections use the correct spelling.

That's why pas2js uses any case on Linux. It would be nice if FPC can be told to do so as well.
