[fpc-devel]why FPC try to recompile unit & compiler direcitve position

[KO Myung-Hun]

Hi.

I feel strange that FPC try to recompile precompiled unit.

FPC require source file of precompiled unit. For example,

when I try to recompile RTL, FPC compile 'sysos2.pas'. And

when FPC compile 'objpas.pas', FPC recompile 'sysos2.pas',

and FPC reports error messages, and gives up compiling.

Below is process of making RTL.

--------
F:\lang\fpc\source\rtl>make
F:/LANG/EMX/BIN/MAKE.EXE -C os2 all
MAKE.EXE[1]: Entering directory `/lang/fpc/source/rtl/os2'
as -o prt0.oo2 prt0.as
as -o prt1.oo2 prt1.as
as -o code2.oo2 code2.as
as -o code3.oo2 code3.as

ppc386.exe -Fi../inc -Fi../i386 -FE. -di386 -I../objpas

MAKE.EXE[1]: Leaving directory `/lang/fpc/source/rtl/os2'

Below is process of compiling my program, compiled sucessfully before.

I cannot understand why FPC try to recompile units.

For better FPC.
