[lazarus] What's the difference between these?

[Ned Boddie]

Hi,

I'm working on a test program, and clearly must have something set up wrong.

If I do the following:

cd /opt/fpc/lazarus/lcl
ppc386 forms

everything works as expected.

however,

if I do the following:

cd /opt/fpc/test
ppc386 /opt/fpc/lazarus/lcl/forms

the compile aborts with errors about the TTIMER object not being found,
and lots of warning during the compile.

This is particularly the problem if I do a test program:

program test;

uses
  forms,
  MainForm in 'MainForm.pas' {FMainForm};

begin
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.Title := 'Test 0.01';
  Application.Createform(TFMainForm, FMainForm);
  Application.Run;
end.

it never even gets to the MainForm unit, blowing out in the forms unit.

What am I doing wrong here?

Ned
