[solved thanks] WARNING: ppu exists twice: /usr/lib/fpc/2.4.0/units/i386-linux/

[AlistairG]

In wiki it says:
A ppu exists twice. Find out with -vut. Remove the wrong ppu.

Can someone explain this to me? eg how to apply -vut and how to determine and remove wrong ppu?

I did this and got this:
startlazarus -vut
[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF
Adding "-vut" as a parameter
TLazarusManager.Run starting /home/alistair/.lazarus/bin/lazarus ...
[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF


Thanks vm.

Call the compiler (fpc), not the IDE ([start]lazarus).

[AlistairG]

Oh, did this:
fpc -vut

but still get same errors as subject matter on Project/Compiler Options/[Test]

but still get same errors

Not errors, only warnings.

When I choose Project -> Compiler Options -> [Test]  then I get

I don't use these  *.ppu in my projects so I don't care. I had never real problems with it.

Does it make problems in your projects? If no, ignore it.

Oh, did this:
fpc -vut

but still get same errors as subject matter on Project/Compiler Options/[Test]

The extra options are meant to show you which units fpc found, not to solve the problem automatically. From the output you should be able to tell where the 2 conflicting units are located.

BTW: FPC is shipped with 2 or 3 versions of httpd.xxx; one for each supported Apache version. It looks as if all of them are found. The default fpc.cfg has some entries to distinguish between these.
