Is there a way to turn off the quiet mode in DCC32 called by MSBuild?

By default, the DCC32 compiler is called with the -Q switch that turns the quiet mode on. Is there a way to disable this switch in the .dproj file or by a command line parameter?

I use msbuild for the build automation in my Delphi project. Unfortunately I can't find any reference to the DCC32 parameters when it is executed by MSBuild. Usually I first change a compiler parameter in the Delphi IDE and then check what was changed in the project file. However, this approach won't work for the quiet mode as I can't find this option in the IDE.

Solution

  • You can edit your $(BDS)\bin\CodeGear.Delphi.Targets (XML) file and change the value of the Quiet attribute of the DCC node to false:

    <DCC DelphiCompile="$(_ProjectFiles)"
...
      Quiet="false"
...
/>

    Update: The DCC MSBuild task is configured to suppress the verbose dcc32 output. See this answer on how to change it.
