How can I tell the Compiler, that the source of an unit is at the same place as the main-source, when I invoke it from somewhere else?

      Hello,

can anyone please help me with the following:

I 've got a Directory, where there is the sourcecode which shall be
compiled, and where the executable has to go.
But I have to invoke gpc from a different directory.
This works fine... i am doing it this way:

/usr/local/bin/gpc -s --automake
/home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/testeSchlange.pas -o
/home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/executable

This compiles "testeSchlange.pas" and produces a file named "executable"
in the directory /home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/

But now I want to use an unit, which is not precompiled. The sourcecode
of the unit is in the same directory as the sourcecode of the
main-program.

If I do the same as in the first case, the unit is not found.
So tried it like this:

/usr/local/bin/gpc -s --automake --unit-path
/home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/ 
/home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/testeSchlange.pas -o
/home/michael/WebAssign/data/1612/compile/executable

But this does not work, too.

So, can anyone give me the right syntax? What is the difference between
--unit-path and --object-path?

Greetings,
Michael Paap
