Description

Rebuilding a win32 bpl (which had been building fine), I encountered the error:-
[Error] XmxWebServiceLib.dpk(32): E2161 RLINK32: Error opening file "Z:\Delphi_v2\XmxCore\XmxCore.drf"

I've never seen a drf file before, although I gather it was introduced in Delphi 3.

XmxCore is listed in the requires section of the project file.

To fix it I removed XmxCore and rebuilt, then reinserted XmxCore and rebuilt.

Z:\ - that sounds like a network drive?

Did you have some of the needed files on a shared network drive?

Is there a possibility that the shared files were being used by another instance of the delphi compiler/linker?

In the current implementation, I think dcc32 requires fill access to files.

Z: is actually a subst rather than a network drive. The issue I have is that .drf are not used by Delphi, so it's not surprising that there aren't any. There are no tools for generating them, so why does the linker bleat?

In my case I just removed from environment search path entries related to my package and i have used the requires section of the project.

Everything goes just fine :)

I run into this bug frequently: When trying to build a project, say TEST.BDSPROJ, I get

E2161 RLINK32: Unsupported 16bit resource in file "...TEST.drf"

The strange thing is: *there is no file TEST.drf*

Compiling the project instead of building it resolves the problem in my case.

I run into the same problem using delphi 2007 build 11.0.2902.10471.
I can reproduce it by rebuilding package of gnostice shared libary. And get the error when on required package with the extension drf.

I wish there would be some explanation about this error and how to solve it.

Suppose, that this bug occur because IDE broke non-ascii pathes.

I have the same problem, and i resolve it that:

My BDSCOMMONDIR was:
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\®??¬???\RAD Studio\5.0"
where "®??¬???" must be "?????????"

When i override it by
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0" it compiled without errors.

I found a solution to this. Just compile the packacge with explicit build option on and rebuild the package.
if there are required packages in this package do the same for the dependent package.

With kind regards,

I had trouble E2601 Unsupported 16 bit resource
Compiling was OK, buiot building failed with this particular error.

I narrowd it down inb my code where I implemented a Max and a Min array scanning routine which started by

MaxValue:=-1.7E10380

//snip
MinValue:=1.7E10380

It was fixed when i repleced 1.7E10380 with the constant Infinity from the Math unit.

Correction on the message:
E2161 Unsupported 16 but resource in file xxxx.drf
