- Sub: re--Uses nightmare revisited
-
- Thomas,
- We always got this problem w/ 3.0. Usually the Compiler was reading the
- obsolete symbol table of the used .p file and failing. I'm very suspicious of
- MPW pascals ability to detect obsolete symbol tables of files in USES clauses.
-
- We could often fix these problems by simply doing "MABuild -rebuild appname".
-
- The 3.1 compiler, with better handling of 'FORWARD' & 'EXTERNAL' keywords,
- helps some. (though still not enough).
-
- There's also the possibility that your MAmake file isn't describing
- dependencies in the right order. As I recall, the 'OtherLinkFiles' line
- determines the order of compilation.
