Go Up to Error and Warning Messages (Delphi)


You get this error when the RAD Studio built-in compiler runs out of memory.

This is a rare error that might occur when you build an extremely large project group of applications and libraries.

To solve this issue, do any of the following:

  • Make sure your swap file is large enough and that there is still room on your disk. See Change the size of virtual memory.
  • Configure your project group to be built externally to the IDE: Select Project > Options > Delphi Compiler and check the Use MSBuild externally to compile property.
    Note: If you want to be able to debug your app when you build with this option set, the Include remote debug symbols option should also be enabled on Project > Options > Delphi Compiler > Linking.
  • Build your project group on the command line.
  • Refactor the applications and libraries in your project group to rely more on Delphi packages. Delphi packages do not make the IDE run out of memory.
