Hello,
thanks to Jonas for this tip in April!
This command line switch can really solve some recompiling problems:
-Ur (= "create release units")
I had the problem "Recompiling XYZ, checksum changed for ZZZ" when
recompiling Lazarus with my component package. It's now solved.
For the benefit of everybody I am quoting the original tips again:
> In some cases, the compiler will want to immediately recompile
> previously compiled units:
> a) if you use a unit that has in its interface section a procedure
> that is declared normally, but which is declared as "external".
> Solution: declare it immediately as "external" in the interface and
> remove the version in the implementation
> b) if you have inline procedures in the interface of unit1 and a unit
> that uses unit1 is (indirectly) used in the implementation of unit1.
> Solution: compile everything with -Ur (= "create release units"; the
> compiler will never try to recompile such units afterwards, except if
> the interface section of a unit that it uses has been changed and this
> other unit has been recompiled).
Cheers,
Tobias
