What is your link.res which you try to include using $i compiler
directive? If it is a normal pascal include file, you have
a names collision: FPC generates before calling of linker a linker
response file named also link.res. Of course, this link.res is not a
pascal source but is written in linker script language and, BTW, can
begin from SEARCH_DIR keyword. Try to rename your link.res to prevent
this file name conflict. BTW, .res extension is: 1) not typical for
pascal include files; 2) typical for Windows resource files - that
is a note for FPC developers team...
