Command-Line Utilities Index

Go Up to Utilities

RAD Studio provides a rich set of command-line utilities in addition to its integrated development environment (IDE), its toolchains and the graphic utilities. These utilities enable you to use the command line to perform targeted compilation and other related functions, including file search and import of definition files.

Command-Line Interfaces of Toolchains

Command-line interfaces of Delphi toolchains

Platform	Compiler CLI	LLVM
32-bit Windows	DCC32.EXE
64-bit Windows	DCC64.EXE
Linux	DCCLINUX64.EXE
32-bit iOS	DCCIOSARM.EXE
64-bit iOS	DCCIOSARM64.EXE
iOS Simulator	DCCIOS32.EXE
Android	DCCAARM.EXE

Note: Applications targeting 32-bit and 64-bit macOS and Android, as well as 64-bit Linux, depend on specific .cfg files from their corresponding SDK´s. These files are not available during RAD Studio installation, and therefore the .cfg files with Delphi command-line compiler options must be set manually. The default .cfg files are located in the same bin directory where RAD Studio is installed.

Command-line interfaces of C++ toolchains

Platform	Compiler CLI	Clang	Linker CLI
32-bit Windows	BCC32C.EXE		ILINK32.EXE
	BCC32.EXE
64-bit Windows	BCC64.EXE		ILINK64.EXE
32-bit iOS	BCCIOSARM.EXE		Apple LD64
64-bit iOS	BCCIOSARM64.EXE
Android	BCCAARM.EXE		GNU ld
