|
|
hi,
i am making my first help file. After the learning curve, I am
finally getting the hang of it. However, I just finished my help
file and compiled it with hcw.exe (in the Borlandhelptools
directory), and now when I try to reopen my project I am getting
the error 'Project rule not found'. What does that mean? I am not
super worried about it, since I did backup my project before I did
this, but I want to know how I can get around this error, and how
to correct it. Thanks

It sounds like your project file was corrupted. Open your project file and
see if there's a PROJECT = and $(PROJECT): section. What's listed under
those sections?
Now, open your intact backup project file, and find those same two sections.
Does what's listed under them differ between the two project files?

Your project's BPR file was probably modified somehow and is no longer
formatted correctly.

I'd say that the file was saved in UNIX format (CR) instead of DOS |
format (CRLF).
You may want to use a tool like unix2dos to fix that.

If you open the project in NotePad, it can sometimes add some characters to
the start of the project file which means that BCB cannot open it
