Sometimes with Lazarus you get *no* smartlinked units on Win32.

Which installation/ide are you using for FPC, just FP-IDE or commandline, or Lazarus?

If you do need to recompile your units, use the OPT="-CX" with the "make" command.
But you really shouldn't have to do this, unless you are using Lazarus win32 and you
want to rebuild the default non-smartlinked shipment.

.A, .O, .ppu files and etc. will be in a special folder called "units", whereas the
source code is actually in several directories all over the place. The "units"
directory is more like a "build output" directory for storage of the object/binary
files.

Example:
C:\pascal\FPC_2.0.2\units\i386-win32\rtl\

This is where my .A files are for Winblows.
