Delphi: fixing “W1030 invalid compiler directive true”

I had a “W1030 invalid compiler directive true” in a project that got ported from Delphi XE3 to a much more modern Delphi version.

Luckily I found [WayBack] Porting to XE5 and the “W1030 Invalid compiler directive: ‘true’” warning | The curse of Dennis D. Spreen.

The cause was this on one of the PropertyGroup elements:

        <DCC_DebugInformation>true</DCC_DebugInformation>

This correspondents to the Project Options ->  Delphi Compiler -> Compiling -> Debugging setting to be true which is not supported any more.

It is similar to When the Delphi XE5 commandline compiler fails with error F1026: File not found: ‘False.dpr’
