[D5] Package directories

Show all headers | View raw

My project consists of multiple packages, which shall reside at runtime 
in the same folder as the main program. One of the packages contains 
project specific controls (design+runtime), the other packages are 
runtime only. This means that the Output Directory should be the program 
folder for all packages.

For the DCU files (Unit output directory) I use a dedicated directory 
\bin for all related projects. This seems to cause no problems. The 
files in this folder are deleted from time to time, to force a full 
recompilation.

But where should the DCP files go? For project isolation I don't want to 
use the default $DELPHI directory for that purpose, so which (shared) 
folder should be used? Can I use \bin for that purpose, too?


When I build the main program without packages, for easy debugging, can 
the DCU files compiled for the packages cause problems? I.e. should I 
use different DCU directories for the version with and without packages?
