[SOLVED] dirutils error

[spassigl]

I've picked up again a project I was developing on a Linux machine, that compiled without errors, and now moved it to an OSX machine, MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.3 OS.

When building the project I get the following error

dirutils.pas(77,85) Error: Call by var for arg no. 4 has to match exactly: Got "FILES.FSRef" expected "MACOSALL.FSRef"
dirutils.pas(79,85) Error: Call by var for arg no. 4 has to match exactly: Got "FILES.FSRef" expected "MACOSALL.FSRef"

This is the code in dirutils

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.       if Global then   // kLocalDomain
2.         theError := FSFindFolder(kLocalDomain, FolderType, kDontCreateFolder, theRef)
3.       else             // kUserDomain
4.         theError := FSFindFolder(kUserDomain , FolderType, kDontCreateFolder, theRef);
5.  

Any idea on how to get past this?

Afaik the idea is to either use macosall, or the separate units, never both. Adjust your uses clauses accordingly.

My code only uses dirutils. The error happens when I build the project and dirutils is compiled.

Hi
Hmmm... You could try to:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. uses classes, sysutils,{$ifdef MACOS}macosall,{$else}dirutils{$endif};

...and see if that would help?!?
Just an idea.

So I managed to get past the error with this

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. {$ifdef DARWIN}macosall,{$else}dirutils{$endif};
2.  

But now the compiler complains about GetConfigurationDir

mainform.pas(287,18) Error: Identifier not found "GetConfigurationDir"

as dirutils is not included.

Hi
Is that the only complaint, then just copy that function into your own code and 'ifdef' that too...
...or, replace that call with 'GetAppConfigDir();' from sysutils...

Thanks I'll do that.
