Building the source code

Hi,

I have the source code for v8.04, and use cb2007. Trying to build the 'recommended' project Tee8BCB6 as per the help file, fails all over the place, principally because its looking for bcb6 files which don't exist (eg vcl60.bpi)

If i try to build, using one of the delphi groups, eg DclTeePro811.bdsproj, then my compiler complains that i don't have a delphi personality.

So how do i build these components as is in cb2007/cb2009.

Thanks,

Nile.

Hi Nile,

Have you tried using TeeRecompile tool, shipped with the sourcecode installer for compiling them?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, i have and this works just fine.

However, I understood that you would provide a project that could be compiled from within the IDE i am using (CB2007/2009). Moving to the compiler application you provided can only be viewed as a temporary fix, most especially if as a user I'm expected to change or modify the code, and expect to use the compiler to show me where the problems lie. Swapping over to another tool to do this job seems redundant to me, increases development time and removes me from the environment (with all of its settings, errors and warnings) most likely to help obtain a successful build.

It seems you have a build for BCB6, but not the later flavours other than delphi?

rgds nile.

Hi nile,

In C++ Builder 2007/2009 you could add TeeChart's source code path at the *top* of IDE's Library path so that your applications will directly compile using the source code.
