The corresponding bdsproj line looks like this: <property category="win32.*.win32b.ilink32" name="option.l.arg.1" value="..\lib"/> And (-l) is "dash ell", not "dash eye".

Reported as QC#34652 Was already reported in QC as #29879, which was reported quite some time ago, but still needs to be opened...are any QC folks paying attention? - Dennis Back to top David Dean Guest Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 2:03 am    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: does not write libfile path (-l) In article <453bda4b (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com>, "Dennis Jones" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: are any QC folks paying attention?

It seems so, and this is just plain dumb. Borland should be evaluating them. I appreciate the benefit to Borland that a filter (persons like yourself) can have, but geez...are they so darned busy that they cannot bother themselves to evaluate QC reports? They made this big stink about how they were going to be better at QC, and then they farm out all of the filtering to one or two people, who (no offense) are quite often "unable to reporoduce" problems reported by (often many) users. Sheesh. - Dennis Back to top David Dean Guest Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 6:21 am    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: does not write libfile path (-l) In article <453bde3e$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com>, "Dennis Jones" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: Surely you aren't the only person evaluating QC reports... or are you? It seems so, and this is just plain dumb. It does seem like it since I may be the most active sysop in the C++ area, but it isn't so. There are two level one sysops that help me quite a bit, they don't get much credit for the work they do yet. (unless you pay close attention to the comments, or are tracking reports that they have edited) Before I became a level 2 sysop, I relied on two other people to promote the reports that I marked for attention, in addition to the Borland employees that would open them as well. Maybe I've beat them to the punch often enough that they don't feel the need to spend as much time in the C++ area any more. Quote: Borland should be evaluating them. They do. Craig Farrell has opened a bunch recently. Owen Urkov is another Borland Employee that often gets reports that I miss. (and also opened a lot when I couldn't) Quote: I appreciate the benefit to Borland that a filter (persons like yourself) can have, but geez...are they so darned busy that they cannot bother themselves to evaluate QC reports? I hope that my effort has given them more time to work on fixing bugs, rather than trying to reproduce all the reports in QC. I do think that they need more sysops (Delphi's backlog is much worse than the one for C++, IMO) and it would be nice if employees were encouraged to spend more time in QC. (Maybe even having some employees whose primary responsibility was to sysop QC) -- -David Quis custodiet custodes ipsos?

(Maybe even having some employees whose primary responsibility was to sysop QC) David, Thanks for the explanation. Yes, having an employee devoted to reproducing, verifying or challenging QC reports might be useful. Unfortunately, that person would have to be intimately familiar with every aspect of every tool to be very effective. A better approach might be to have one team member (developer) from each tool/product team take one day a week to do QC evaluation for items related to his/her tool/product, since they are the ones who would have a much better chance at understanding the ways in which the tool/product might be prone to fail and whether or not the report has any real merit. But alas, this isn't likely to happen as the developers are probably more likely encouraged to work on new features instead of worrying about finding and fixing bugs. After all, that's the job of QA and beta testers, isn't it? - Dennis Back to top David Dean Guest Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 8:00 pm    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: does not write libfile path (-l) In article <453c397b$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com>, "Dennis Jones" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: After all, that's the job of QA and beta testers, isn't it?

Oh, and by the way, I was being sarchastic, in case my tone wasn't obvious. I think developers SHOULD take responsibility for testing and finding and fixing their own bugs. Leaving that job to beta testers and QA shows a lack of pride in one's work, and a lack of concern for quality. Nevertheless, your idea is a good one. - Dennis Back to top David Dean Guest Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 9:40 pm    Post subject: Re: bdsproj2mak: does not write libfile path (-l) In article <453cef61$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com>, "Dennis Jones" <nospam (AT) nospam (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: Oh, and by the way, I was being sarchastic, in case my tone wasn't obvious.

I think they should subscribe to area notifications as well. Maybe when a C++ product manager is found, I can talk to that person about it.

Perhaps Chris would pass the suggestion on to the C++ team. - Dennis Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> C++ Builder (Command Line Tools) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
