I want to create *.bpl file but I am failing to do so.
Specifically, I am trying to make JEDI plugins, but I have tried an empty pure Delphi package, too.

If I create a new package in Delphi XE3, I get an empty unit - if I "make" this project called "Package1.bpl", I get a .dcu file in "debug/win32/", but no .bpl file.
No error is reported by the compiler.

An empty JEDI plugin (bpl-style) only gives a .dcu, too, while an empty dll-style JEDI plugin gives a .cdu and a .dll file in "debug/win32/".

This is the first time I am tryimg to make a new package, so I am completely lost.
What am I missing?
