BCB 4 Make doesn't work

I can't seem to get BCB 4.0's Make command to work. It seems to compile the
modified source units but then doesn't invoke the linker, so the executable
isn't updated. Same with the Run command. THe only way I can get the IDE to
produce a new executable is to do a full Build, which takes a LONG time.

Any suggestions anyone????

Re:BCB 4 Make doesn't work

Me too, this has been raised in the ng's a few weeks ago but no real answers
just sugestions.

I'm not sure but I think that this problem only started after 01/01/2000.

Re:BCB 4 Make doesn't work

No way this is a y2k bug! This problem has been around since the beginning
(at least) of last year when I first starting using BCB intensively. The
problem is centered around BCB's failure to recognize changes to the source
code if those changes only involve units. If you make any change to a form,
even as simple as moving the position of a control, then BCB recognizes that
a change has taken place and re-links. This seems to me like a pretty basic
error not to have been fixed by verson 4.0!

Hi !

I had this problem when tried to use long filenames with spaces. Removing
spaces solved the problem.
