Paths in DPR and DPROJ

[Bill Meyer 337]

Given a project located at, for example:

D:\MyProj\ShinyNewTool.dproj

And a collection of shared modules in:

D:\SharedCode\

When I add a module from the SharedCode folder to my project, the path given in DPR and DPROJ is:

D:\SharedCode\FileUtils.pas

instead of

D:\..\SharedCode\FileUtils.pas

 

In Tokyo or later, is there a way to prevent the path from being absolute? The only thing I have found is to relocate thus:

D:\Projects\MyProj\ShinyNewTool.dproj

D:\Projects\SharedCode\

Then the paths will be relative, as long as no module is on a different drive.

 

This becomes an issue because on our build machine, the folder paths must be relative, as they will not be root based.

The relative path should be ..\SharedCode\FileUtils.pas. 

 

I opened a dpr and dproj for an application and there the paths are relative.

Thanks, had my mind stuck in the actual app environment, where there was another folder level before reaching the source.
