See http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/porting.pdf paragraph 7 ("avoid paths...") I originally wrote that in 2003-2004. Even for portability purposes it often doesn't work, since usually the build systems and files for FPC/Lazarus and Delphi differ anyway (and you noticed the working dir difference) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
