You are using fpc directly. Did you try opening the Lazarus project I attached? My response was based on that.

That sets -Us for all units in the project, that won't work.

So I should compile the system unit directly and put the result in the lib directory to use with the project?
My intention is to find a way to replace system unit in a hopefully simple manner so I can work on it and test things.

For quite some time already FPC automatically applies the -Us switch to the unit named System, so you don't need the -Us switch (I didn't use it when compiling from the command line either).

You are right, removeing -Us solved it. I added other types that it needed and now it want to compile objpas unit.
Any idea?

That is because your project's mode is set to ObjFPC (Lazarus will pass a -MObjFPC parameter to the compiler then) which automatically leads to an insertion of the ObjPas unit. Either change your project's mode in Project Settings -> Compiler Settings -> Parsing or add a {$mode fpc} to your main program file.

you were right, it solve the problem but now it can not find this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. Unknown compilerproc "fpc_initializeunits". Check if you use the correct run time library.
You pointed out very good points but wiki seams out of date, that is why it looks more complicated than it should.
I attached the project too.

You need to add a procedure fpc_initializeunits; compilerproc; both in the interface and implementation section.

You pointed out very good points but wiki seams out of date, that is why it looks more complicated than it should.

There aren't many people that try to write their own, minimal System unit and we core devs don't care about that Wiki article, thus it only gets updates (if at all) if someone tries to do that again...

You are right. I added that and some more and it now compiles, although next step is making debugger works.
I attached the project for the future.

I am stuck in the same situation:

It says "Internal type "TEXCEPTADDR" was not found" when trying to compile system.pas.

I have followed the rules set out by https://wiki.freepascal.org/System_unit, and although my system.pas derived from https://wiki.osdev.org/Pascal_Bare_Bones

What have I done wrong?

The following are compilation errors. I installed fpc-3.2.0.i386-linux (overwriting fpc-3.2.0-x86_64-linux).

Look in the attachment of @Okoba...

The compiler expects some system defined types to be defined when parsing a subroutine such as the implementation section of system.pas.  This means you have to add some type definitions to system.pas.

It appears that this check was added to 3.2.0, so it is perhaps time to update the osdev example by some knowledgeable person  :-[

Edit: Thanks @Alextp, I see you where quicker and already updated the freepascal wiki.

Nothing, my friend. I'm just went to verify my last changes to that topic and found out same situation with system.pas. Now I'm gathering all my knowledge again (didn't used fpc for a long time) and I'll reassemble old topic for fpc-3.2.0+
Just if  I'm not too late, lol

Done. I've tested a few times building with different attributes and now https://wiki.osdev.org/Pascal_Bare_Bones works again.
