Builder 5 -> Builder 2007 migration tough

[Julian]

Hi,
I have both Builder 5 and Builder 2007 and I am trying to migrate the
project to the new Builder IDE. However, I get stuck on compilation
errors. For example:
in the
sampleHeaderFile.h I have:

class RGBValue {
public:
RGBValue ();
RGBValue (short _R, short _G, short _B);
~RGBValue () {};
short R, G, B;
void Assign (short _R, short _G, short _B);
void CopyRGB (RGBValue * SourceRGB);
bool Empty;
//operators
RGBValue operator+(RGBValue&);
RGBValue operator-(RGBValue&);
RGBValue operator/(int&);
RGBValue operator/(float&);
RGBValue operator/(double&);
RGBValue operator*(int&);
RGBValue operator*(float&);
RGBValue operator*(double&);

};
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
class RGBArray {
public:
RGBArray (int _nx, int _ny);
~RGBArray ();
int nx, ny;
RGBValue ** XY;
...
etc.,
}
At RGBValue ** XY; I get type name expected error (E2303)
compiling with Builder 2007, while I didn't have problems with Builder 5.
Any suggestions?

Once the final ; is added to the class declaration the code you
supplied compiles without error in RAD Studio 2007. Either you have
left out something that is actually causing the error (a #define macro
for "XY" perhaps) or you have not installed the updates to your
Builder 2007 install.

Thanks Leo,
I didn't realize the update was that important. Currently, I have
Builder 11.0.2804.9245 and the update seems to be kind of complicated.
It is not clear from which one to start and there is a lot to read about it.
Thanks for the help,
Julian

I don't think that it is the issue here, but I am testing with the
December update applied and don't have any way to test with the
version you are using so I included it as a possibility.

There are two updates to that version. The most important is the
December 2007 update. You should be able to just download it and run
the installer - the installation should be basically automatic.

There is another hotfix available which I have not yet applied to my
installation, but the number of issues it fixes is rather limited.
