installing v8 over v4

Roy · Post by **Roy** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 1:04 pm

I have just purchased v8 as an upgrade to v4 that was supplied with Borland Builder 4. The installation went smoothly, and the in the Options/Packages v4 was unselected and v8 was selected. In the Options/Directories the path to the v8 include files and the path to the v8 library files was set. The code created using v4 was recompiled with no errors and the new v8 options were visible in the Object Inspector Window. When I ran the program however I get Access Violations every time I try to execute any code relating to the teeChart.
The v4 library files in the Borland library directory are still there and appear to be the ones called. How do I get Borland to not use the v4 library files and use the v8 library files located in the Steema/Borland library directory?

Hi Roy,

Could you try to verify that TeeChart v8 paths are on the top of your IDE's search and library path lists?

Yes, the v8 paths are at the top for both include and library

Hi Roy,

Could you please send us a simple example project so that we can check if we see anything wrong with it?

You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

That is going to be difficult as my teeChart code is built into my main software that has quite a few forms.
In the directories, I have added the v8 paths to and moved them to the top of the list there is a path called "$(BCB)\$(TEELIBPATH)" but I have not been able to find where TEELIBPATH is defined. Could this be the problem?

Hi Roy,

Yes, I'm afraid C++ Builder 4 doesn't have environment variables. In that case you should set it to v8.04's "Lib" and "Include" path for the Library path and Include path lists respectively. Also notice that it should be $(TEELIBPATH) instead of $(BCB)\$(TEELIBPATH).

Hope this helps!

I do not have access to news groups but I have created a small project that exhibits the same problem. How can I send to you?

Would it make sense to reinstall Borland Builder 4 and then, if possible, exclude the v4 teeChart?

Where would I set "TEELIBPATH" to the new v8 path. The "$(BCB)\$(TEELIBPATH)" was already there. I added the path:
"c:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 804 for Builder 4\Builder4\Lib" and moved this to the top of the list. Is this correct?

Hi Roy,

Yes, that path is fine. You should also add "Include" folder on top of the Include path list. Also, you can post your files at the upload page:

Thanks in advance.

I have uploaded the executable file. But would you not need all files to determine what is happening? What about uninstalling Builder 4 and reinstalling without v4? What are my other options?

Yes, we would need full project sources.

I don't think reinstalling C++ Builder 4 is necessary. Just setting search paths as we told you should be enough.

Your "UPLOAD" link only accepts one file. How would I give you all of the files? I have set the paths and verified the paths and reset the paths and re-verified the paths with no success. I need another solution soon.

Hi Roy,

Can you please compress all the files in a zip, rar, 7z, etc. package and upload it?

Thanks in advance.
