Target file name option generates error for FreeSpider app

[motaz]

when I create new (Hello World) or open an old FreeSpider application and assign a path in Project Options/Compiler Options/Paths/Target File Name (-o)
I've entered something like this: c:\apache\cgi-bin\first.exe

Then I get this error when I run the application from command line:

Code: [Select]

I get this error in Lazraus 0.9.30 and .31 in Windows. When I remove this configuration and let the executable to be generated in the same directory, it works fine.

I was wondering what is the difference between assign output file name and leave it empty, that makes the application generates error

[Leledumbo]

There should be no difference, unless you use a hardcoded path somewhere. The stacktrace shows DATA_init on line 126 of data.pas, what's there (and around it)?

[motaz]

unless you use a hardcoded path

There is no code at all, I just created new Free Spider application, then dropped TSpiderCGI component in data module, then I compiled the CGI/console application

In Linux it is working fine, after I remove Interfaces unit.
I'll check again what's wrong in Windows

[motaz]

I've remove Interfaces from main application source code, then remove LCL, and FCL dependencies in package, and it works fine in Windows 7.
the problem was happened in Windows Vista computer, I'll check it tomorrow in sha allah.

[motaz]

I found that the problem happens when I direct output compilation to c:\apache\cgi-bin. When I put another directory, it works fine in Windows Vista

Permission problem?

[motaz]

not a permission problem, but it might the dash between cgi and bin. may be this path name couldn't be used in output file name.
I'll do more testing in the next days

[motaz]

It is working fine in Vista in cgi-bin directory now.
It looks like there were old binary .o and .ppu files in that directory
