Creating BPR/BPK files

User interface > Translation > Converting dpr-files > Creating BPR/BPK files

At the conversion of Delphi dpr-files at first such a file is translated like any other Delphi source file. But, if the according option was enabled, a C++Builder bpr project file or a bpk-file is created afterwards too. For this reason there are four frame files in the source folder:

\Source\Application_default.bpr 

\Source\Console_default.bpr

\Source\Lib_default.bpr

\Source\Package_default.bpk

for GUI applications, console applications, libraries and packages respectively.these frame files all contain the placeholders

%PROJECT% 

%MAINSOURCE%

%INCLUDEPATH%

for the name of the project, the main source and the search paths.

Delphi2Cpp ignores technical settings like compiler switches at this translation. The generated C++Builder project are just for a quick start with the translated code. You will have to set your special options manually.You can adapt the frames for your own preferred C++Builder project settings. But the number and order of the placeholders must be maintained.

If you load the options into the C++Builder, it will at first complain about the missing resource file and then create a new one. The translated application might use components, which are not installed in your IDE. This will be denounced too. If the code of these components is in a sub-directory of the project, Delphi2Cpp will have added it to the generated C++Builder project, You will have to remove it and install the components instead.
