Some years ago , even I have sent a message to Lazarus mailing list about that issue . In the same directory , for example , in an NFS directory : When an .lpi file is loaded in an OS , file names recorded in other OSes are causing trouble . During save of an .lpi file , Lazarus is saving the .lpi file in its current OS structure , by breaking the .lpi for the other OSes . To prevent such a conflict , it is necessary to introduce into .lpi file name components a new field : <operating_system = "..." /> During loading an .lpi file ALL of the components should be loaded , and relevant ones to OS should be used ( the other should be kept and any message should not be issued about them ) , and on save , ALL of the components should be saved with changes applied only to current OS components . Since there is no such a structure , it is necessary to use different directories and .lpi files for the same project with common source directories ( with different compiled parts directories ) . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
