for installation of the online help itself.
From the site where you downloaded IBO is a file called
HowToInstall.txt which includes the following text...
-------------
I have provided Project Group files for ease of use.
They allow you to compile all the packages in a single batch.
If you open one of the package sources you can then go
to the Project menu and chose compile all projects.
Otherwise there seems to be an oddity in the IDE that the
option to compile all projects will be grayed out.
This will compile all the packages.
Then, just right click on the design-time ones and chose install.
Only install the ones ending with DT for design-time.
The two exceptions to this are the FTS and RPL packages,
which are also runtime-time packages too.
There are 18 packages in all and it is somewhat
subject to change as I might split or add things again somewhere.
Here is the current list of packages in order they can be built:
Runtime packages:
IBO40CRT_D5.dpk
IBO40TRT_D5.dpk
IBO40VRT_D5.dpk
IBO40FRT_D5.dpk
IBO40XRT_D5.dpk
IBO40WRT_D5.dpk
IBO40WXRT_D5.dpk
Design-time packages:
IBO40CDT_D5.dpk
IBO40ADT_D5.dpk
IBO40TDT_D5.dpk
IBO40VDT_D5.dpk
IBO40FDT_D5.dpk
IBO40XDT_D5.dpk
IBO40WDT_D5.dpk
IBO40WXDT_D5.dpk
IBO40EDT_D5.dpk
Runtime and Designtime packages:
IBO40RPL_D5.dpk
IBO40FTS_D5.dpk
Please also make sure you add the path to the sources
in the Tools, Environment Options, Library Path and Browsing path.
Otherwise you will be unable to compile your applications using IBO.
------------------
My own addition (assuming you are using Delphi5 following the above
examples) is to open IBO40_D5.bpg - the project group file for
Delphi5 - which will let to follow the instructions above.
