Hello,

The --unit-path option does not work (or maybe I don't know, how it works). The following program "mainprog" uses a unit in directory ..\test-units. I tried:

gpc --unit-path ..\test\units mainprog.pas

where mainprog.pas was:

program mainprog;

uses gpc, unit1;

begin unitvar := 'Test ok'; writeln (unitvar); end.

The compiler complained that it could not compile "unit1". Then I tried:

gpc --autobuild mainprog.pas

where mainprog.pas was:

program mainprog;

uses gpc, unit1 in '..\test-units\unit1.pas';

begin unitvar := 'Test ok'; writeln (unitvar); end.

This worked, but I don't like to put pathnames into source code. Is there a better way to do compilations with units in different directories?

Best regards, Peter Dietrich --------------------
