Pre-build trick does not work to circumvent [BRCC32 Error] xxx.vrc(1): error creating xxx.res (via: Embarcadero Discussion Forums & StackOverflow)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/10

Ever since around Delphi 2007, it started to use temporary .VRC files to re-build the project .RES file.

It confuses people, and with reason as the only public information about it on the dockwiki seems to be in the Version Info page (though there is more on the other embarcadero sites).

The reason is that parts of the .RES file are no more leading in the process of getting them from your project options to the final binary (EXE/DLL/BPL/…) of your project.

Delphi XE3 for instance can have these resource structures in the .VRC file:

Except for type 24, Delphi XE2 seems to have the same kinds of resource types.

All in all, most if not all of the .RES files are being auto-generated for at least a couple of years now so there is less and less need to put it under version control.

The problem is that if for one reason or the other, your project .RES file becomes readonly, and you get errors like mentioned in Why does a projects res file need to ….

[BRCC32 Error] xxx.vrc(1): error creating xxx.res

.RES in VCS or not?

*nix networking – lsof: How to tell what process has a specific port open on Linux (via: Server Fault)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/10

I usually used netstat with some grep filter for this, but Brandon Titus showed at StackOverflow that the lsof command is much easier to use:

lsof command should be able to do this just fine. Just use this:

lsof -i :<port_number>
lsof -i udp:<port_number>
lsof -i tcp:<port_number>

and all of the processes should come up.

The lsof commands work on SUSE, Max OS X, CygWin and many other environments.

(update 20160304: added more arguments and links)

Two other commands I use often:

netstat -tulpn | sort

(for connected and listening tcp/udp ports it shows processes and port numbers; see the netstat parameters for more details, note that -u includes udp and -l adds listening sockets)

rpcinfo -p ; rpcinfo -s

(shows the ports used by rpcbind)

Note that one day I’ll learn the iproute2 equivalents (many of which have non descriptive 2 letter names like ip, iw, ss, tc, maybe because iproute2), but as OS X still doesn’t have iproute2, I’m hesitating. Anyway, that day:
