dcu

When using dcc32 against the .dpr file it produces a dll but no dcu’s. The project level .cfg is using the –N switch to set the path but nothing is in the directory specified. It must see the .cfg as the –E switch is working. I tried to use brcc32/brc32 against the .dpr file before a call dcc32 but either one gives me the Error projectName.dpr 3 1: Expecting END? I need the dcu’s from project1 for project2 which when I run the dcc32 against the .dpr it errors stating it can’t find the missing dcu’s from project1 for project2. What steps, clc/utility need to be run to produce the dcu files?

What is a Delphi DCU file? I believe it stands for "Delphi Compiled Unit". Am I correct in assuming it contains object code, and therefore corresponds to an ".o" file compiled from a C/C++ source code file? David Schwartz I believe .dcu generally means "Delphi Compiled Unit" as opposed to a .pas file which is simply "Pascal source code". A .dcu file is the file that the DCC compiler produces after compiling the .pas files (.dfm files are converted to binary resources, then directly processed by the linker). It's analogous to .o and .obj files that other compilers produce, but contains more

The debugger steps into the source code on errors (like with F7 ), but I want to restore the normal working mode where the Delphi basic DCUs (the library) are only compiled into my code, and the sources are not used in debugging. For example, on an error in my program, the debugger is stepping into Controls.pas, into TControl.Click . The normal case (right after installation) is for Delphi to step over these methods. Should I recompile Controls.pas without debug information? If so, how? I extending this theme with additional information to better understanding: We use Delphi6 Prof. what have
