Those switches are needed for Unix but ignored with Windows. If I remember ok, with fp 2.6.4 it was not needed.

Nice that it works now!
Yes, it is because a **very** old fpc bug.
Even using "-B" (build all) fpc does not clean all previous compiled files.
One of the cause is because fpc forget the included files {$I
something.inc}.

If you use the graphic msei18n application (/mseide-msegui/tools/msei18n/),
click on the "Edit" menu-button.
By default, the needed parameters are added.
Could you give the script that you are using for compiling?

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] msei18n vs PO files
Hello fredvs, following up my previous post about the error compiling the "language" libraries, I found the cause now. The clue & key was the compiler's suggestion "recompile with -fPIC" Well I had tried that before, and it hadn't helped. But this might have been due to my not cleaning up the working directory beforehand, so the compiler didn't really recompile, just retry the link step - and failed again. Now I DID clean up the mess from previous failed attempts before trying the recompile, and it DID work. Now, this leaves the question where to put this compiler switch. If it was be needed for all targets, it might be best to put it into some ressource string yet to be defined. If it is not needed always, or perhaps on Linux only, it might be acceptable to put it into the compiler specification field in the settings dialog.

I think there is a confusion, there is no call (yet) to mselang (the compiler). There is indeed a call to /mseide-msegui/lib/common/i18n/mselanglink.pas but it has nothing to do with mselang-compiler. This unit is about registering mse-languages.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] msei18n vs PO files
Hello Sieghard.
Thanks to give attention to msegui.
> calling "Make" for a project I set up, "msei18n.trp", returns this error:
Are you trying to compile on a Unix machine (Linux or FreeBSD) ?
If yes, you should add "-fPIC" parameter to fpc compiler option:
I use this macro with the gui msei18n :
/mseide-msegui/tools/i18n/msei18n.prj :
${COMPILER} -Fu${MSELIBDIR}i18n ${LIBFILE} -fPIC -k-gc-sections
Note the 2 last parameters: -fPIC (needed for compilation) and
-k-gc-sections (to enable garbage collector).
Also dont forget do remove all previous *.ppu, *.o, ... etc.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] msei18n vs PO files
Hello fredvs, by the way, I got the latest msei18n programs to compile and run now, both the one from release 4.6.2 and from your gitlab repository. But they don't work correctly. Apart from an error shown on calling: "Sessionmanager Error: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined" (that I didn't investigate yet, as it seems to run normally otherwise) calling "Make" for a project I set up, "msei18n.trp", returns this error: - "/mnt/ext/Linux/install/Entwicklung/fpc/MSE-IDE/MSE-IDE.4_6_2/tools/i18n/i18n.latest.script/de/".

ERROR - (Lines with a "\" at the end continued on next line.) It seems this version was meant to already use "mselang" compilatiin or at least compilation via llvm that it was meant to use, but as the regular setup still uses fpc, this won't work. Asusing fpc MIGHT still be the normal case, it might be warranted to change that (back) to allow fpc to be used.
