[fpc-pascal] [libtar.pas]:Error: Illegal type conversion: "ShortString" to "^Char" without compilator options

[TOUZEAU DAVID]

Dear

I would like to use some units developped from delphi/klyx with Lazarus 
IDE On Linux.

It seems that there is some differences between delphi/freepascal 
especially for longstring conversion.

Many times, i received this compilator error :

For example by using the LibTar.pas 
(http://www.destructor.de/libtar/index.htm)

libtar.pas(355,8) Error: Illegal type conversion: "ShortString" to "^Char"

i fixed this error with  {$H+}{$LongString On} tokens

But is it this good way ??? is there an another solution ??

Best regards.
