are supported in -Fu (unit search path) networks paths? i.e.
-Fu\\server\share -Fu\\server\share\path ?
Correction: unit cannot be found only if it is placed in "share
root" \\server\share !
When is placed in \\server\share\path then it is found.
Why?
Possibly Share vs directory. A directory has 4 slashes
(\\x\y\<something), a share two.
Try \\server\share\.
*Does not works. More confusing is that, when I map \\server\share
to F:\ and I add F:\ to search path it does not work also!
*
*(if unit is in any subdirectory i.e. F:\something then it works ...
so only root does not work!)*

[0.015] Handling option "-Fud:\"
[0.015] interpreting option "-Fud:\"
[0.015] Path "D:\" not found
So the path exist function probably fails on root dirs.
This looks like the infamous wrong implementation of checking of
directory existence based on reading its attributes (which doesn't
work for the root directory, because it has no specific entry on the
file-system and thus also no attributes, at least on DOS-like systems)
without special handling of the special case of the root directory:
cfileutl.pas, line 361-375 (trunk):
function TCachedDirectory.DirectoryExists(const
AName:TCmdStr):boolean;
var
Attr : Longint;
begin
if not TryUseCache then
begin
Result:=PathExists(Name+AName,false);
exit;
end;
Attr:=GetItemAttr(AName);
if Attr<>0 then
Result:=((Attr and faDirectory)=faDirectory)
else
Result:=false;
end;
I suggest filing a bug report.

If you can add there more details please do it ;-)
