Then you got lucky (just like people can get lucky for a long time by compiling svn trunk with previous svn trunk compilers instead of starting with the latest release). Your checkout will however probably contain a lot of outdated compiled units and directories that have been removed from svn (but which weren't deleted in your local copy because they still contained "units" directories). > I use WinXP and TortoiseSVN. That doesn't matter. Jonas_______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
