Description 

Library path  

Specifies search paths where the compiler can find the source files for the package. The compiler can find only those files that exist in the library path. If you try to build your package with a file that is not on the library path, you receive a compiler error.  

Package output directory  

Specifies where the compiler should put compiled packages files.  

DCP/DCPIL output directory  

Specifies a separate directory to contain the .dcp (Win32) files.  

Browsing path  

Specifies the directories where the Code Browsing feature of the Code Editor looks for unit files when it cannot find an identifier on the project search path or source path.
The Code Editor searches for unit files for Code Browsing in the following order:

1. The project Search path for Delphi ( ProjectOptionsDelphi Compiler) or the Include path for C++ ( ProjectOptionsDirectories and Conditionals).
   
2. Global browsing path (this option)
   

For Win32 Delphi language projects, the directories specified with this option are appended to the debug source path for the project. So the debugger search order for unit files is determined by the following path settings:

1. The project Search path, for Delphi ( ProjectOptionsDelphi Compiler) and, for C++, the Include path ( ProjectOptionsDirectories/Conditionals).
   
2. The Browsing path (this option).
   
3. The project Source path (the directory in which the project was saved).

 

Namespace prefixes  

Specifies the prefixes for dotted namespaces, to allow you to create a shorthand version of the namespace in the uses clause in your code. For example, instead of writing CodeGear.Vcl.DB, you could specify CodeGear.Vcl as your namespace prefix. In the uses clause, you could then specify uses DB;.  

Debug DCU/DCUIL path  

To use this option, you must set Use Debug DCU/DCUILs on the ProjectOptionsCompiler page. When that option is set and a path is given, the debugger looks for the .dcu (Win32) files in this path before looking in the unit search path.
