Problem with setting Browsing Path in Delphi option page

Question

I have a problem with setting Browsing Path in Delphi 2009:

When I install a new component, I add DCU path to Delphi\'s Library Path, and source path to Delphi\'s Browsi

Answer 1

Are any of these units listed in the .dpr ? Units there with a wrong path can cause pretty funky behaviour.

Answer 2

Setting "Symbol Reference Info" to "Reference Info" does indeed fix the issue with Browsing Path.

But at least for Delphi XE the change has to be made in "Build Configuration -> Base" for it to work.

Answer 3

I would ensure the dcu's were compiled with debugging turned on. If this is a third party component and the source is provided with it this is usually the case but not always.

Answer 4

I was struggling with this problem for a long time. Changing REFERENCEINFO in package settings from "none" to "definitions only" did the trick. Hope this will help you also.
