Where do I find the bpl file after I compile a package?
delphi, delphi-xe3, jedi, jvcl, package
Solution
Go to the `Tools` menu and navigate to `Environment Options` -> `Delphi Options` -> `Library`. There you find the `Package Output Directory` and the `DCP Output Directory`. These directories are the default output directories for BPLs and DCPs, so the bpl will be created if your packages is compiled, but in a different directory from what you expect.
The JEDI plugins probably have their output directory configured otherwise in `Project` -> `Options`.
Problem
I want to create *.bpl file but I am failing to do so. Specifically, I am trying to make JEDI plugins, but I have tried an empty pure Delphi package, too. If I create a new package in Delphi XE3, I get an empty unit - if I "make" this project called "Package1.bpl", I get a .dcu file in "debug/win32/", but no .bpl file. No error is reported by the compiler. An empty JEDI plugin (bpl-style) only gives a .dcu, too, while an empty dll-style JEDI plugin gives a .cdu and a .dll file in "debug/win32/". This is the first time I am trying to make a new package, so I am completely lost. What am I missing?
