Does anyone know of a good description of the delphi build system? (I know this with MS Build.) I am using delphi 2009.
I would like to set up a Debug assembly configuration option that (often) has different definitions (d2009 seems to call them preprocessor symbols).
The problem I am facing is that even though I have disabled inherit for Base and Debug, you have only very limited control. For example, I cannot get rid of FastMM _.

I even had to edit it today with notepad in order to get rid of DCC to determine that the delphi interface is not giving access. (he said: “From the Delphi compiler” for an item that I could not remove.)
- delphi?
