One of the QC items not fixed in the XE6 release is 98008, probably because it is still in the Reported state even though it was submitted August 23, 2011. I have previously blogged about the state of QC, so I won’t get into that issue again, suffice to say I hope the QPS initiative continues, and QC incidents get reviewed.
I have been encountering the same error as QC98008 because between DevX, TeeChart, and TMS the search paths for units (stored in OPTSETS) has exceeded the 32,000 character limit primarily because the same paths are used multiple times by MSBuild when constructing the build command. It was included in the ResourcePath, IncludePath, UnitSearchPath and ObjectPath. Since no OBJ files were in use, and resources are included in the project files, we simply changed the CodeGear.Delphi.Targets file located in the Delphi Bin folder, setting both the ResourcePath and ObjPath to an empty string (lines 192 & 194) as follows:
ResourcePath=""
IncludePath="$(IncludePath)"
ObjPath=""
This resolved the duplicate path issue that resulted in the exceedance of the 32000 character limit.
