Then I don't understand...
I have done nothing about the config (since i did not know it
existed), so my new SVN version of Lazarus (the fixes branch) should
read the same data as the normal lazarus, right?
Then the same project opened in both lazarus:es would compile the same
way, right?
But the original lazarus does not complain about SdpoSerial, but the
SVN version does. How come?
Is there a dependency on which version of FPC is used? The SVN version
also uses the latest *released* FPC version, while the original
lazarus uses the FPC delivered in the setup for lazarus on Windows.
