Hello, I have some library files that I am trying to build in an automated build process. These files do not generate and exe but are instead used by other projects. I was trying to avoid using a package and just reference the dcu files. My build process is building the library components first and then each project. When dcc32 is passed a .pas file it seem to always compile that file even if the dcu has a timestamp that does not need to be updated. The /M switch does not seem to have any affect on this behavior. Right now I am creating a dummy pas file that has all the other files listed in its uses clause. It looks like the timestamp is checked for any dependencies. Just not for the file name passed to dcc32. Is there a different switch I can use to only rebuild if necessary. Or is this a really stupid way to approach this problem and I really should be building packages? Thanks, Mark
