We are using an older version of FinalBuilder (6.3.0.2253). When setting this up on a new build machine, there were some issues with FB not recognising some environment variables in the Library path (specified under Variables/Project).
The environment variables in FB have exactly the same names and paths as they do in RAD Studio, but some are working and some aren't. I couldn't see any pattern with the ones that don't work.
I got around it by just using the full path in the Libary path setting so it's all good, but I was just wondering if there was a bug in this version of FB that was fixed in a later version? Maybe we just need to upgrade.
In the FinalBuilder options, under Compilers\Borland Delphi, check the options to load the rad studio environment variables on startup. I don’t recommend loading from multiple versions of Rad studio in FB6 as that will end up not working as expected. Note that if you change those settings it will only take effect after a restart of FinalBuilder.
In FB7 we virtualized those variables in the delphi action so it can cope with multiple versions of rad studio at the same time a lot better than FB6. I’ve been asking Borland/Embarcadero to stop using environment variables for paths for a long time, unlike most of their customers they only ever seem to worry about 1 version of rad studio at a time… so it’s not an issue for them, but out here in the real world its a royal pain in the proverbial
