Hi,
BDS version 4.0
I've had a problem with compilation of the final part of our application.. it's telling me it cannot write the output file...
F1013, error writing output file.
I've googled and it would seem that this is related to the length of the list of directories I'm including as part of my include path. i.e. to workaround this HIDEOUS of HIDEOUS bug, we have to shorten our include path. Is this correct?
Is there a way to workaround the bug? How can a product ship with a bug like that in it? I'm stunned.
We cannot shorten the length of our include path. :(
thanks

If it were, a different error message would be reported by the linker.

Seemed to me that I had seen a similar message if I was running an
instance of the application outside the IDE when I tried to recompile &
link. Guess my memory is not as good as it used to be.

Hi,
thanks for your suggestions... unfortunately, I don't think any of them apply in this case. If I (painfully) take the contents of all my include dirs, paste them into c:\inc, update my include path such that there's 1 directory used for include path,change nothing else, recompile, the .obj is written correctly.
The following thread refers to the same problem, I think...

What version of Builder?
If it's BDS2006 check the length of your include directive.

Is there any kind of patch available for this?

I remember that I have written a workaround for an "include paths too
long" bug in BDS 2006. Maybe this is exactly the same problem.
Extract from bcc32pch changelog:
New: BDS 2006 workaround for C++ Compiler buffer overflow for -Ixxx,
-Dxxx and -Uxx parameters.

ww.sysinternals.com: You may find which file write is yielding the

You may even catch a glimpse on how to correct it.

PS I've done it lots of times, not only with BDS/BCB, and it really
works! But it is a heavy effort.
