[fpc-pascal] Free Pascal Directories

[Brian]

Thanks for all the commandline suggestions , but my question is about using
Geany as the IDE , not running the compiler from the commandline. BTW : I
only use fpGUI as an example to illustrate the issue.

Using Geany as the IDE :
The FPC documentation is not correct :
1.3.38 $UNITPATH : Specify unit path. 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu121.html#x129-1300001.3.38

If the directive is added (below) to the main program FPC will fail to find
the unit directory i386-linux.
{$UNITPATH .../fpgui/fpgui-1.2/src/units/i386-linux} 

To make it work you must include the absolute directory path such as :
{$UNITPATH /home/mydir/fpgui/fpgui-1.2/src/units/i386-linux}  and then it
only finds the first unit in the uses list and cannot find the rest of the
units in i386-linux.

Why doesn't FPC continue to look for units in the directory specified by
$UNITPATH ?

Regards
Brian
