New to FinalBuilder 5 and BDS2006

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I've been using FinalBuilder4 with Delphi 7 for a while and have really enjoyed using it.

I've upgraded to BDS2006 & using the Delphi Win32 personality only. I upgraded to FinalBuilder5 and I'm apparently missing something.

I copy all my souce files (less .dcu files) to a  Build_Source folder and try to build/compile. The compiler stops immeadiately and complains that it can not find a .dcu for a file that should be built. Example: About.pas is in the Build_Source folder to be built but the compiler complains that it cannot find the About.dcu. (I'm confused!) Do I need the .bdsproj file or is the .dpr adequate ? I've not copied any .cfg  files from my source folder thinking that I could set all my options within FinalBuilder.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Rick

The delphi action should still be set to the .dpr file. Also, check to see if the dpr has hard coded paths to the source files (if they were not in the same folder as the dpr file before then they will). Also, check that the library path is setup for BDS2006 rather than D7.

Thank you.  The answer was indeed in the .dpr. I am managing this new project differently than the projects in Delphi7 & Finalbuilder4.

Thanks again,
