ATTN: Developers

There is a bug in your makefile at the path Source\Make.bat of your latest sources v6.25.2.14 (and in earlier versions).

When the Delphi IDE is installed under non standard path, any *.dcp file
DOES NOT have its creation path defined.

For Example when the make.bat Line 94 issues the command:

"L:\Delphi7\Bin\dcc32.exe" -LE. dacvcl70.dpk

The following error occurs:

Code: Select all

Fatal: Could not create output file 'e:\default_programs\borland\delphi7\Projects\Bpl\dacvcl70.dcp'

This is because you forgot to sepecify the output path for the *.dcp files !!!
The option -LE does NOT tell the compiler where to put the *.dcp files. See:
http://safari.oreilly.com/1565926595/appa-1-fm2xml
You should add the -LN option which exists exactly for this purpose.
Like this:

Code: Select all

"L:\Delphi7\Bin\dcc32.exe" -LE. -LN. dacvcl70.dpk

I would suggest that you add the -LN. option not only to this line, but anywhere where *.dcp file gets created.

I tried this on Delphi 7 ( of course I corrected the IDE path in Source\Delphi7\Make.bat file)

I am enlosing the full debug output of the orignal Source\Make.bat file.
I enabled the Echo On.

Horace

P.S.
Below is an additional BENIGN error in the makefile.
Despite compiling for Delphi7 VCL, the makefile attempts to copy *.hpp files which belong to CBuilder.
This error gives the false impression that something went wrong in the makefile for users that never worked with CBuilder and have no idea about *.hpp files.

The system cannot find the file specified.

We have fixed the value of -LN parameter in dacvcl70.cfg file. The fix will be included in the next build of ODAC.
