No (only for additional FR fetures only).

Ok

Why? It`s package for IBO 3.6.x. Check correct {$IFDEF xxxx} definition. You must define IBO40xxxx or IBO_xxx but NO BOTH! Don`t save FR7.dpk from Delphi IDE. IDE remove all {$ifdef ....} from dpk.

>//TEE45,

TeeChart support. Charts, diagrams etc....

//RXCTL7,

RxLib support. Need installed RxLib (check in google ;) Can be skipped.

//mwEdit_D7,

wmEdit support (see SynEdit project on sourceforge.net). It`s editor with syntax highlight. Also can be skipped.

>Furthermore I got error msg: Could not compile used unit 'fr_const.pas', 'fr_old.pas' etc. I don't know why?

Place path to installed FR into you delphi library path("Environment options"->"Library"). Delete precompiled .dcu, if you have full FR sources and recompile. Also check other used by FR packages (RxLib as example) if required.

Hi,

Thanks for the package, I tried to compile it but not without problems.

Do I need to uninstall anything before compiling the package?

It first couldn't find IBO40CRT, IBO40FRT, IBO40TRT etc in FR7.dpk. I found out that these files should be named IBO40XXX_D7 so I fixed that. Then it also couldn't find IBO_D7, which I couldn't fix. These I couldn't fix either:

//TEE45,
//RXCTL7,
//mwEdit_D7,

Furthermore I got error msg: Could not compile used unit 'fr_const.pas', 'fr_old.pas' etc. I don't know why?

So back to my question, what should I do to get it to work?
