Zeoslib Portal

I have put:
C:\.........\zeoslib\packages\delphi14\build
on my library path.

I have open v.14 project:
C:\.........\zeoslib\packages\delphi14\ZeosDbo.groupproj

When I compile ZCore140.bpl all was ok, but when I try to compile ZPlain140.bpl then I have this error:

[DCC Fatal Error] ZPlain.dpk(30): E2202 Required package 'ZCore' not found

Hummm... I am stucked here and I suspect I have a big brain-lock or something similar... :-)

Any help ?

Greetins..

Differently from any previous Delphi versions, here all the library are stored
in $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl, so you have to add it in your library path.

I don't know why.

But attached you found a zip, which $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl is changed to \build, where usually all bpl should be stored. I compared dproj from Delphi 2009 to Delphi 2010 and commit changes to Delphi 2010.

Moreover looks like on D2010 libraries something is missing.

I mean:

-ZComponentDesign.dproj : ZComponent.dcr is missing
-ZeosDboDev.dproj: Projects Include="ZTestBugReport.dproj" is missing

SVN rev. 728

Thanks!

BTW, still is need to ad by hand the bpl path.

HTH

Delphi 2010 Pro:

compiled svn revision 734, no errors!
added /build and $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl to library path

Tried to install "ZComponentDesign.bpl"
-> no items in the component Pallette
and
if i restart Delphi -> "ZComponent.bpl not found error"

"ZComponent.bpl" as in older Delphi versions could not be installed, because it's not a Designtime Package !??

p.s.
I want my Delphi 5 back :--((

You must compile and build

C:\.........\zeoslib\packages\delphi14\ZeosDbo.groupproj

i did that several times including "bereinigen" = clear

I copied
..\build\*.bpl
and
../build/*.dcp
to $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Bpl , no success.

I think the question is, why D2010 doesn't find the just compiled packages ?!!

John,
Do you add to the library paths the path containing the bpl and dcp files? Is working fine here with delphi 2010, so i bet theres a problem there...

BTW, im using revision 735.

donaldshimoda,

good news that somebody got it running with D2010!

But i still have no success!

Yes i put "..\zeosdbo\packages\delphi14\build" to my library path and i experimented a lot.

Example:
If i cut(!!) *.bpl out of ../build/ and move it to $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\BPL i can install ZComponentDesign140.bpl but get no items in the pallette.

Does that mean all *.bpl have to be in $(BDSCOMMONDIR)\BPL ??

Extra Info: I have Delphi 5 Pro on the same PC but i still hope that's not the reason for my problem. All z*.bpl are in the specific ../BPL directory of D5 and D2010 and theire names are different.

I have this problems at home and at work on two different pc's with D5 and D2010 installed on both of them.

I took revision 735 as you did!

Really clueless :--((

John, i suggest you start over:

delete all reference to zeos package
delete zeos dir
get the code from repo
open the project file
add to the library file for zeos
build the project
install zcomponent.

if complains just save and close delphi 2010
open again
go to add packages and enbale it
you must see in the palette now, works for me...

best regards

Well, since long we added the ZComponentdesign package which is installable and just installs the components in the ide. Main reason is some people did want to distribute the zeoslib bpl's in their application bit the old ZComponent package required some packages for the IDE (if I remember the problem correctly.
This change wasn't done for D5. (Don't remember why)

Concerning wanting D5 back : lot's of people will agree (and stay wit D7). If you liked D5 you may want to have a look at Lazarus too. It's free and still supported by the developers. I think most features available in D5 are also available in Lazarus and the newest IDE is great. (I'm using SVN trunk for my development, don't know exactly how far developed the last official release was)

Hi Mark,

If you liked D5 you may want to have a look at Lazarus too.

I have lazarus installed, it's great, but sometimes i miss Jedi Comps (JVCL) and i know Delphi 5 for years now.
In the long run i change to lazarus because at home i use a Debian ( Linux), and lazarus does what Kylix tried to do :--)

To upgrade my Delphi 5 to Delphi 2010 i payed 475 EURO and what i get for this money makes me really angry: Helpsystem in D2010 for example, it's like a Pre-Alpha Delphi back to 1995, that never exists!

So i still try one day or another until i stop to cool down again.
Perhaps i can get a good old Delphi 7 instead, that is still supported by Jedi, and hey, that Delphi 7 does the job !!

thanks a lot, that worked !

Got revision 738., compiled ...

But i still had to cut and paste

..\build\*.bpl --> C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Dokumente\RAD Studio\7.0\Bpl\

../build\*.dcp --> C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Dokumente\RAD Studio\7.0\dcp\

Jedi also puts all its *.bpl to
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Dokumente\RAD Studio\7.0\Bpl\
I think they know the reason ?!!

Thanks again for your advice!

JohnML

You welcome.

Hello I am returning to this and trying to install on Delphi 2010 with new ZeosLib revision and I must get apologies by this stupid question. :-(

I have downloaded:
ZEOSLIB_STABLE_REV738.zip

But (surprise): I have not the ..\packages\delphi14 folder...

:-O

What is wrong ?
