Actually, almost none of my packages (if there was even one) got sponsored through mentors, so I abandoned this strategy a long time ago. Direct contact of the relevant teams worked actually much better for me.

I'll have a look at your suggestion.

Until now, I tried a lot of approaches and none worked. Since I have no knowledge on pascal I asked for AI assistance without more success. Whenever I change any argument, there is another problem that arises, and the way the package is built upstream is very strange (mutliple passes, maybe for optimization purposes?).

I fear there is no way to get around that static linking for pascal packages given that other pascal packages have that as well.

Regards
Fab
