RxLib2.60 BCB4 build
William Weinman
BCB4? With a little tweaking I got rxctl to compile, but rxdb gives me
a pascal fatal error in unit rxdbctrl.pas.
TIA,
Bill W.

I don't remember. Just match the existing BCB code.

Is there a spelling error there? Maybe it should be "gauges.obj".

of a conditional define (I think it was in ProgressBar...code not handy at
the moment). I eliminated that leg forcing comctrl(?) to be linked instead.
Don't know if this was asking for future problems. Figured I'd get it to
install first, then go back and sort it out.
Taking a clue from Stefan's post, I'll now be taking a close look at Rx.inc.

when VER110 is defined (BCB3) and by activating $DEFINE USE_PROGRESSBAR, I
could get rxctl to compile. However compiling rxdb still gives me the pascal
fatal error in unit rxdbctrl.pas.
any help appreciated -
Bradley Davidson
1: I got RXCTL.BPL to build by doing what you said, Uncommenting $DEFINE
USE_PROGRESSBAR in RX.INC.
2: I was able to get DCLRXCTL.BPL to build by creating a new {$DEFINE
VER130}
in RX.INC at the beginning of the file and adding the following code:
{$IFDEF VER130}
const
SDelphiKey = 'Software\Borland\C++Builder\4.0';
{$ENDIF}
I still cant get RXDB.BPL or DCLRXDB.BPL to build. I believe I am getting
the
same error as you:
[Pascal Fatal Error] RxDBCtrl.pas(3796): Internal error: GH2300.
Hope this helps anyone...

C++Builder is VER125

1: To get RXCTL.BPL to build, un-comment $DEFINE USE_PROGRESSBAR
in RX.INC.
2: To get DCLRXCTL.BPL to build, add the following code to RXCONST.PAS:
{$IFDEF VER125}

Sigh. See below.
One word of warning - I have absolutely no interest in DB
applications. It might or might not compile for you, I am just not
interested (and in probability have not even tried).
Further, if it does not build for you, just compile the design-time
packages with Delphi 4.03 and install those into BCB4.

DB components working. At least I can stop beating myself up with "How did he get
this working by changing only this one file?" if the DB stuff still doesn't go.

Theoretically it should work. It compiles with D4, that much is
certain - and if it compiles with D4, the probability is pretty high
that it compiles with BCB...

pieces of RxLib (ctl and db) compiled like a charm.
Bill W.
Herbert Carl Meyer
I tied it, got the runtime packages (RxCtl and RxDb) to compile, and
tried the design packages DclRxCtl and DclRxDb.
First, I got a required package dslstd32 missing, removed in
DclRxCtl.bpk, in
the section PFLAGS =
change -LUdclstd35 -LUdclstd40 (flags for the pascal compiler)
For an undefined symbol SDelphiKey:
To the file: RxConst.pas
after line 64 add:
{$IFDEF VER125}
const
SDelphiKey = 'Software\Borland\C++Builder\4.0';
{$ENDIF}
(defines a registry key)
now I am stuck at:
in SelDSFrm.pas at line 63:
uses MemTable, {$IFDEF RX_D3} RxMemDS, BdeConst {$ELSE} DbConsts
{$ENDIF},
TypInfo, VclUtils, StrUtils, RxLConst, DSDesign;
produces error File not Found: 'DSDesign.dcu'. Any ideas what would be
appropriate?
William Weinman
If you do not have the client/server version you should disable the define
of DCS in file rx.inc. I think that's the cause of this problem.

just can't get the package installed. I can compile all of the componets of
RXctl but when I try to install DCLrxctl it complains that a DLL is not
available.
Has anyone been able to install this successfully and what were the steps
followed.
Take Care.

entries in the package files that refeered to vcl35.bpi etc. I used notepad
to open all the files with instances of vcl???35 and changed them to 40
which is in the package an .cpp files. Then when i compiled I had zero
compile errors, as i now try to load the package i get an error about cant
find the file in the path.
Anyway I will be trying a few more things and hopefully I will get it to
install without a prolem.

errors I have never seen before, I followed the post of others regarding
changes in certain files, I will lay them out step by step.
1. In Rx.inc place this in the file:
{$IFDEF VER125} { Borland C++Builder 4.0 }
{$DEFINE CBUILDER}
{$ObjExportAll On}
{$UNDEF DCS}
{$UNDEF RX_MIDAS}
{$ENDIF}
2. In Rx.inc remove the period from this line, this bypasses the error for
Guages.obj
{$IFDEF WIN32}
{.$DEFINE USE_PROGRESSBAR} // Remove the period from this line
{ Activate this define if you do not want to use TGauge Borland sample
component in TDBProgress component and FileUtil routines. In this case
TProgressBar component will be used }
{$ENDIF}
3. In Rxconst.pas place this in there:
{$IFDEF VER125}
const
SDelphiKey = 'Software\Borland\C++Builder\4.0';
{$ENDIF}
4. Edit the following files with notepad and remove the entries that is
relating to ( 35 ) it needs to be changed to ( 40 ). Dclrxctl.bpk,
DCLRXCTL.cpp, Dclrxdb.bpk, DCLRXDB.cpp, Rxctl.bpk, Rxctl.cpp, Rxdb.bpk,
Rxdb.cpp.
Delete all of your bpl, dcu, obj, lib, hpp and everything not related to the
building of the new packages, the proceed and build the files according to
Rx instructions. When all the packages are built they will be placed in a
dir. under your projects dir. Just install them into the ide and that
should be it.
Note: I have delphi4 on my pc, so I dont know if that has anything to do
with everything being built without a problem, if anyone is still having
problems with building the package I will be glad to post the entire package
on my website for a few days for others to download.
Good luck everyone, I hope this helps.

To install Rx 2.60 in BCPB4 look at fido7.ru.cbuilder newsgroup. Some man
have posted an archive with updated Rx sources few days ago.

I appreciate your detailed message. Everything compiles in rxctl and

If I comment out the code in the define it compiles up fine but I get
an error saying it couldn't find a library but the compiler doesn't
identify which one.

I have got to the same point you have. I can compile with no errors but when
I go to install the package BCB complains of missing DLLs.

Easy: make sure that the DLLs that BCB wants are on the system and/or
user search path (formerly known as "PATH" in AUTOEXEC.BAT <g>)
I have a special folder named "D:\DPL_BPL" where the name should
pretty much tell you what it does - it's a hold-all for almost every
package around that I build. And it is one the system search path.

Thanks for the help. I knew it had to be something simple I was doing
but I couldn't figure it out and the error mesage was less than
informative.

What format is the attached file. I can't seem to decode it.

RAR.
Try SimTel for an uncompressor. You will find at least DOS and Windows
versions. RAR is popular since it packs very tight. Not really
wide-spread though.

RXCTL.BPK compiled and linked OK.
but DCLRXCTL.BPK gave me the following error while compiling SbEdit.Pas
Pascal Fatal Error: File not found 'LibIntf.dcu'
I can find LibIntf.hpp (in CBuilder4\Include\Vcl) but not the .dcu version.
I don't have Delphi on my computer.
If anybody can help I'd appreciate it.
