no. I use batch file scripts. where I basically do the following.<br>
<br>
Delete All DCU's, (including all 3rd party libraries)<br>
<br>
Compile Each application.<br>
<br>
Delete all dcus again.<br>
<br>
I have had so many problems with delphi linking in wrong dcu code etc
(more under 2005, than D7) that I now use the command line only for
proper building. the IDE is essentially just a glorified text editor in
my opinion, and is only good to have compiling for the syntax checking.<br>
<br>
I just link a batch file to my tools menu to compile my projects. and
trap the console messages for hints and warnings using console piping. <br>
I built four in a row exes. and it was always the exact identical token
locations that differed. perhaps because I am rebuilding all the code.
If you are linking dcu's in that already existed. ie 3rd party. then
the exe records datestamps of the units inside the exe (i think) which
might account for more differences<br>

thats what I use for distribution versions.

Well. You are right about the exe being slightly different. in the case
of my exes the difference is allways in the exactly the same place,
and there are a series of repeating tokens that are 2 bytes each, which
are different. as though it is a date stamp, or symbol table token
or something.
I do remember way back in the days of DOS Turbo Pascal that the help
said you always have to rebuild the MAP table for each EXE.
so i guess you are not doing this because its a massive file to
distribute. What are you using the MAP table to do? have you tried just
compiling memcheck into your program with td32 symbols turned on? it
logs all memory leaks and errors, with class type, and call stack
information to show you the exact line of code leaking, no need for a
map table.

then I recompile it with no changes then the exes are wildly
different. The 3rd compile only has minor differences (presumably
time related). I know that this did not happen with earlier versions.
Is this a feature ? It causing us headaches in that we can not
reliably match the map file with the error that the user is reporting.
The map file changes wildly to match the exe.
