I had the same problem with FPC. I am using rhide 1.4.7 running under Win98. I
tried 3 different schemes.

First, I replaced the GNU pascal compiler with FPC by setting the "use FPC"
box in the preferences. The resultant messages (from the redir utility) were:

This is RHIDE Version 1.4.7. Copyright (c) 1996-1998 by Robert H”hne
             (Nov 15 1998 23:23:07)
executing: ppc386      -E- display.pas
return value: 1

and also, the program lost mouse control.


I then tried the ctrl-o option for the source file where I set "user" compiler
, typed in the exectuion line : "ppc386 $(SOURCE_FILE)", and set the error
process to FPC. here I got:

This is RHIDE Version 1.4.7. Copyright (c) 1996-1998 by Robert H”hne
             (Nov 15 1998 23:23:07)
executing: ppc386 display.pas
return value: 1

Howerver, here I get the correct error messages in the error window of RHIDE.
But I still lost mouse control.

I next tried to run RHIDE from a DOS prompt and repeated the second step. I
used cwsdpmi and a mouse driver. I didn't loose mouse control after
compilation, but FPC said that it could not run in DOS mode.

Here is the error messages I got from just executing "ppc386 display.pas" from
the command prompt:

Free Pascal Compiler version 0.99.10 [1998/12/21] for i386
Copyright (c) 1993-98 by Florian Klaempfl
Target OS: Win32 for i386
Compiling display.pas
display.pas(2,2) Note: Ignored compiler switch $F
Compiling E:\FPC\RTL\WIN32\crt.pp
crt.pp(1,6) Error: Illegal unit name: WINCRT
crt.pp(116,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping

I am using FPC because I am trying to compile a set of Turbo Pascal (7.0)
project files and got the impression that FPC would be the closest TP 7.0.
However, if I could find a port of GNU pascal, I could use that if it is
somewhat compatable with TP 7.0.
