经过多次挖掘后，我终于遇到了这个问题：Does the .res file need to be in source control?，我们从来没有把它包含在git中。现在我正在尝试从命令行的源代码构建项目。如果我在Borland打开文件，它会要求我重新创建所述文件，然后我就可以开始制作项目了。如果我删除所有生成的文件和rake，我会得到以下输出（为了清晰起见，展开了ruby任务）
$ bpr2mak_exe="#{ENV['BCB']}\\Bin\\bpr2mak.exe"
$ make_exe="#{ENV['BCB']}\\Bin\\make.exe"
$ puts `#{bpr2mak_exe} -omakefile MyProject.bpr`

我查看了所有命令行工具（专注于BRCC32.exe和GRC32.exe），它们都不像我需要的那样。我也尝试使用procmon来查看调用哪个程序来生成res文件。所以你们Borland / Embarcado的任何一个人都想管好吗？ （如果有帮助，这里是命令行帮助屏幕）

为了好玩，我尝试对项目文件运行它们

IDE（而不是编译器）使用从项目文件中提取的版本信息生成默认的.res文件。对于您尝试进行命令行编译的内容，最好使用所需的资源数据定义创建自己的.rc脚本文件，然后使用.res将其编译为brcc32文件，然后使用ilink32链接到该文件。
但是，你真的不应该使用make来编译一个Borland项目。使用Borland的bcc32编译器或MS的msbuild框架（取决于您的C ++ Builder版本）并让它处理make将要做的所有事情。然后你可以编译你的.bpr或.cproj文件，而不必先将它转换为.mak文件。
