Marc,

Thanks for thinking with me.

Well, I just tried that. I move all the *.ppw and the *.ow files to the
freshly created lcl\units directory and removed them from the lcl-directory,
just to be sure.
Then again with the new lcl/units path:


E:\pp\source\lazarus\components\mwedit>ppc386 -Fu../../../rtl/win32 -Fu../..
/../lcl/win32 -Fu../../../packages/gtk -Fu../../lcl/units -vt mwkeycmds.pas

stdctrls.pp(13,17) Fatal: Can't find unit STDCTRLS
And now it can't find the stdctrls unit, but it load the ppw file.

It remains a mistery for me.
