Its happened for two libraries, so it is consistent. I dont see how I
can prove it to any of you.
My problem was that it has often recompiled the 3rd party libraries,
even when it had access to the dpk and dcps and the dcus. The only way
I could stop it was to rename the pas files so that it would not find
them. I was not doing a build and there was nothing wrong with the
dates. I have had this problem since D3.
It appears that if the Unit output directory is blank then it is
confused about where to put the dcus. Sometimes they go where the pas
files are, other times they go where the dpk is, yet other times they go
where the include files for that unit are. The amazing thing is that
when it changes the output directory, it actually removes that dcu from
the old directory.
No, I wasnt smoking rope, I made a witness watch it... and it performed.
The solution is to always put something in the unit output directory.
In my case I have just put "." And finally, after over 6 years, the
compiler works as required.
P.S. I still have the problem sometimes where it can not find the
source file with ctrl-enter.... despite the fact that the path is
specified in 3 places. I suspect that its the same internal problem
with directories as the unit one above. Do CodeGear engineers know that
windows changes the current directory all the time.
