Compiling Packages Packages are ordinarily compiled from the IDE using .dpk files generated by the Project Manager. You can also
compile .dpk files directly from the command line. When you build a project that contains a package, the package
is implicitly recompiled, if necessary.
Generated Files The following table lists the files produced by the successful compilation of a package.
Compiled package files File extension Contents DCP (Win32) or DCPIL (.NET) A binary image containing a package header and the concatenation of all .dcu (Win32)
or .dcuil (.NET) files in the package. A single .dcp or .dcpil file is created for each package.
The base name for the file is the base name of the .dpk source file.
BPL (Win32) or DLL (.NET)
The runtime package. This file is a DLL on Win32 with special Borland-specific features. The
base name for the package is the base name of the dpk source file.
