When I put the following in the library path
$(BDSLIB)\$(Platform)\release;$(BDS)\Imports;$(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp;
i get and error BDSLIB- does not exist!
when I use the global library path is works fine, but I like to put the library path in myself.
I got delphi XE and Finalbuilder 7.0.0.1166

I can’t reproduce this here, however there were some changes to deal with a future version of delphi made before build 1166 so it’s possible we broke something, please try this build :

I still haven't got the delphi XE variables in my Delphi projects.
I have a project where Iuse $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp as DCP output directory when I run this project it is OK
but I get an error when i use this project as Include Project
Error creating cfg file
--\> Unable to create directory

I fought this error for several hours one day. It was quite some time ago so I might be wrong.
But I believe you can get this when the "Starting Directory" on the Delphi Action is incorrect.

I’m still not able to reproduce this here. Can you provide sample projects that demostrate the issue?

I got the starting dir empty so that might be it?
I got the thing with $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp solved
I still can't use the library path I get the error BDSLIB does not exist!
In Delphi XE in Tools| options system variables it is defined. Dit I miss something when configuring Finalbuilder?
