socketsh.inc not found with trunk FPC
lazarus / 11-Options

When using Lazarus 1.2.7 with FreePascal trunk I keep getting this
error:

D:\FPC\FPC\packages\rtl-extra\src\win\sockets.pp(53,5) Error: include
file not found "socketsh.inc"

socketsh.inc file can be found in
D:\FPC\FPC\packages\rtl-extra\src\inc

I don't want to study this issue in depth; I just want a quick fix; I
need to make Lazarus parser "see" this file. I tried adding the path
to the file to Include files in Project settings. Surprisingly it does
not work.

Parser fails when I edit unit using Sockets unit. Btw, Sockets unit is
supposed to work on Windows, right?

sockets unit exists on Windows, for some reason your compiler decides
to recompile it, while it shouldn't. Probably a lazarus
misconfiguration (adding source to unit path directories) in
combination with the -Ur safeguard missing in your trunk build.

IOW the IDE should find the FPC source (for browsing and codetools)
but the compiler NOT.

Compiling succeeds; CodeTools parser fails; that is why I only need
this file now to be detected by parser
I have no errors with compiler; I only have error when pressing
Ctrl+Space for code completion

I guess your CodeTools needs to "Rescan FPC Source Directory" Under
Tools

It does not help, I did it several times already
 ----
this has something to do with FPC trunk, maybe some files were moved
at some point. I just need to add the path manually for now
