Program or unit <name> recursively calls itself

[TheBugSlayer]

Hello all.

From Tuesday I have been getting the fatal error described in the subject line. I don't know what is suddenly causing it. I am trying to install components, it happens at compilation, no matter which one. Can anyone assist me please?

Thanks a lot,
Your helpless Bug Slayer.

You probably have a unit that references itself in its uses list.

e.g. both examples below would produce the error you are getting.

unit UnitA;

interface
uses
   UnitA;

implementation


end.

or

unit UnitA;

interface
uses
   UnitA;

implementation


end.

to solve it you need to make sure no unit references itself.

on the second code window of my previous reply i meant the following.

unit UnitA;

interface


implementation
uses
   UnitA;

end.
