    constructor Create;
    procedure Assign;
    destructor Destroy;
    property Target: TObject; {rw}

Inheritance¶

Description¶

TDependency represents a dependency relationship between build targets or packages. Dependencies can be on other packages, individual units, include files, or specific targets.

The dependency system ensures that required components are built before dependent targets, manages version requirements, and handles conditional dependencies based on CPU and OS targets.

Dependencies support version checking through the Version property and can be conditional on specific CPU architectures and operating systems inherited from TConditionalString.
