Which include file?

[RodneyK]

In converting a Delphi dll to the compiler couldn't find an include file filerec.inc required by SysUtils.

When I searched my hard drive I found two copies of filerec.inc, one in c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.4\source\rtl\inc and the other in c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.4\source\rtl\\objpas\classes.

Both define the FileRec record but differently.

In c:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.4\source\rtl\inc\filerec.inc the definition is:

type
  FileRec = Packed Record
    Handle    : THandle;
    Mode      : longint;
    RecSize   : SizeInt;
    _private  : array[1..3 * SizeOf(SizeInt) + 5 * SizeOf (pointer)] of byte;
    UserData  : array[1..32] of byte;
    name      : array[0..filerecnamelength] of char;
  End;

and in C:\lazarus\fpc\2.2.4\source\rtl\objpas\classes\filerec.inc

type
  FileRec = Packed Record
    Handle,
    Mode,
    RecSize   : longint;
    _private  : array[1..32] of byte;
    UserData  : array[1..16] of byte;
    name      : array[0..filerecnamelength] of char;
  End;

So which one should I use?

Neither, you should use the compiled sysutils.ppu.
