Uses declaration on FPC

**arthurprs** · 09-11-2007, 06:18 PM

why this did not work?

[pascal] obj_engine in '../../SDL & GL/obj_engine.pas',
obj_input in '../../SDL & GL/obj_input.pas',
obj_image in '../../SDL & GL/obj_image.pas',
obj_font in '../../SDL & GL/obj_font.pas';[/pascal]

obs: on delphi it compiles well

Maybe because the blank space in "SDL & GL"?

FPC and lazarus don't allow you to specify paths in the uses clause. Instead set the path in your project options or set them in FPC.cfg.

In FPC, I use paths in the uses clause, and it works:

Code:

&#123;$mode objfpc&#125;&#123;$H+&#125;
uses
  Mundano in '..\Mundano.pas',
  Escenas in '..\Escenas.pas',
  Entidades in '..\Entidades.pas';

Well, I'll be damned, it does work

. Guess that was all a figment of my imagination from a version long gone.

I'd try escaping the & symbol and see if thats the problem. Seems in the back of my mind that a c style escape might help (\&).

You could try \ instead of / , that's what I'm using (in Windows). No idea if that affects in Linux.

i think it doesn't like spaces, also the uses.. in.. breaks code insight in lazarus.

Inverted the / and worked
