My report started as a report of a problem I couldn't solve but then I solved it, by going right back to the start and CLEANing all builds. I thought it worth sharing my experience with others. Sorry it was so rambling.

John,

I wish I had a good explanation for you, but I don't. I think I followed what you were trying to say, but I'm not sure why there was a problem. Even stranger is the fact that the compiler did not change 1.38 -> 1.39, so I can't explain it away with "the compiler changed..."

I'm still looking into the best solution for multiple projects accessible from the IDE. I have some ideas I'm prototyping.

After many hours of successful and very easy use of SF3.9, working only on my main project, I needed to correct a routine in my main library .dll, and all this happened:

I re-compiled one of my libraries.
The library is called [ioLibWin64].
The project option for the target name is [..\Libs\ioLibWin64.a]
It creates a .dll called [ioLibWin64.a].
I have checked destination folder, LIBS, and it contains the re-compiled .dll with new date and time.

My main project has, in its project outline list, the filename, [ioLibWin64.a].
Hovering the mouse over it shows it has the correct pathname.

Main project project-options also show, in the search-directories libraries list, [..\LIBS]

Rebuilding my main project failed, however, because it could not find ANY of teh library routines in my compiled .dll library.

I removed [ioLibWin64.a] from teh project outline list, saved the project, then added the same file back again and saved the project. It didn't help. Re-build still failed.

I re-installed SF3.9. Repeated attempts at rebuilding my main project all failed as above.
At various times during the above, I tried to CLEAN and rebuild. No luck.

What eventually worked was reverting to my library, doing a CLEAN and rebuild, then returning to teh main project, doinga CLEAN, then a rebuild, and suddenly to my relief, it all worked again.
