Question about RaizeComponents_LibSuffix.inc

[Paul Doland]

I hope you might answer a question about how you do this with a $I inside of a .dpk file.  I am trying to use your idea with a different package that I have.  The Delphi IDE keeps deleting the $I line from the .dpk.  When I Google that, Google AI says, yeah, the IDE does that, so don’t do that.  But I want to do that, and you do that.  So… ?

Hi Paul,
Yes, unfortunately, the Delphi IDE does not really like unexpected $I references in the DPK file. It worked for Raize Components because I never compiled the DPKs inside the IDE. I always built them from the command line (from my build scripts).

However, the good news is that in recent versions of Delphi, they new feature was added so we no longer have to add separate {$LIBSUFFIX nnn} statements based on the version of Delphi we are compiling for. Instead, you can just specify:
{$LIBSUFFIX AUTO}
in your DPK and the IDE will take care of putting the correct suffix on the compiled package files.
