Re: 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

--unit-path=/your/path/here

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

--object-path only applies to C files etc., --unit-files to both (I don't see a reason to use --object-path at all normally.)
