Delphi doesn't use project files for individual applications - the project file is the main "program ; uses ; ... begin ... end." bit. The command line compiler hardly ever needs a makefile either - just pass it the main filename and make sure all units are either in the same directory or on the unit search path in dcc32.cfg.
