why DCC32 crashes ?

[Albert Zémour]

Hi,

I use the command line compiler with (very) long paths. I launch DCC32 using
a delphi program that looks like

function TForm1.ExecAndWait(FileName: String; Visibility: integer) :
LongWord;
var
zAppName: array[0..512] of char;
zCurDir: array[0..255] of char;
WorkDir: String;
StartupInfo: TStartupInfo;
ProcessInfo: TProcessInformation;
begin
StrPCopy(zAppName,FileName);
WorkDir := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName);
StrPCopy(zCurDir,WorkDir);
FillChar(StartupInfo,Sizeof(StartupInfo),#0);
StartupInfo.cb := Sizeof(StartupInfo);
StartupInfo.dwFlags := STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
StartupInfo.wShowWindow := Visibility;
if not CreateProcess(nil, zAppName, nil, nil, false, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE or
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, nil, nil, StartupInfo, ProcessInfo) then
Result := 0
else begin
WaitforSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
GetExitCodeProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, Result);
CloseHandle( ProcessInfo.hProcess );
CloseHandle( ProcessInfo.hThread );
TerminateProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, result);
end;
end;

I call this function like that :

cmd := 'DCC32 "' + {ProjectName}.dpr + '" >compile.txt';
ExecAndWait(cmd, SW_SHOW);

I have deleted {ProjectName}.cfg and copied DCC32.EXE and DCC32.CFG in the
directorie where my app runs.

The DCC32.CFG looks like

-AWinTypes=Windows;WinProcs=Windows;DbiTypes=BDE;DbiProcs=BDE;DbiErrs=BDE;
-H
-W
-M

When i compile through my app, DCC32 crashes after several lines of code
without telling me why (it seems to be an AV or - i don't know how to say it
in english - a page violation). I mean there is no console message. The
error occurs three times then the console closes and give the hand back to
my app.

Does someone have explanations ?

Thank you very much,

Albert.
