Unable to build cdcollector |
Wed, Oct 3 2007 9:36 PM | Permanent Link |
Sam Jones | Delphi 7.1
Loaded 105b2edbvcltriald7.exe and 105b2edbadd.exe Loaded cdcollector.dpr and tried to build and get the following error: [Error] cdcollector.dpr(1): Illegal character in input file: 'ï' ($EF) What appears in the editor looks like something to do with msbuild - something that I am unfamiliar with. The first line of the file is: <Project xmlns="" name="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">">http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> |

You can add the units to a new Delphi project and it will probably work. Dave |

Tim Young [Elevate Software] Elevate Software, Inc. timyoung@elevatesoft.com | Sam,
<< Thanks, that got it. >> BTW, the issue was that Windows treats: copy *.dpr <destbuilddir>\*.dpr as copying both .dpr and .dproj files. Which, by itself, is fine. The issue, however, is that it overwrites the .dpr with the .dproj file so that only one file exists in the desination directory when originally two source files were present. That seems like a fairly significant issue, but I could be wrong. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
