Go Up to File Types Index
When you build a Delphi project, RAD Studio generates a Delphi resource string file if your project meets any of the following conditions:
- The Output resource string .drc file option in Project > Options > Bulding > Delphi Compiler > Linking is .
- You are building your project for 32-bit Windows, 64-bit Windows, or macOS, and the value of the Map file option in Project > Options > Bulding > Delphi Compiler > Linking is "Detailed".
- You are building your project for 64-bit iOS Device and the value of the Map file ARM option in Project > Options > Building > Delphi Compiler > Linking is "map file and .drc file".
When you build a C++ project, RAD Studio generates a Delphi resource string file if the Generate .drc file option in Project > Options > C++ Linker is enabled.
Your Delphi resource string file contains the resource strings of your project.
When you build your project, your Delphi resource string file is generated by default as <package>.drc
into the following folder:
- In packages:
- For 32-bit Windows:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Bpl
- For other platforms in Delphi and 64-bit Windows in C++:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Bpl\<platform>
- For other platforms in C++:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0\Bpl\<platform>\<build configuration>
- For 32-bit Windows:
- In other projects:
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\<project>\<platform>\<build configuration>
To change the output directory:
- In Delphi, use the Package output directory option in Project > Options > Delphi Compiler.
- In C++, use the Final output directory option in Project > Options > C++ (Shared Options).
