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.

>Is this the stuff in fr.inc? What's the difference between IBO40xxx and IBO_xxx?

Oh ;) IBO_xxx - package from IBO v3.x (very old)...

Take package FR7.dpk and FR.INC from my private message for you and try recompile....

>I just want to be able to use IBO and fast report, why is it so hard?

In readme from FR included hint - don`t save package from IDE!

I don't understand this.

My original package file, FR7.dpk, requires stuff I don't have.

What more confuses me is that I compiled the package last year and I haven't changed anything since, and now I can't compile it.

Is this the stuff in fr.inc?
What's the difference between IBO40xxx and IBO_xxx?

I just want to be able to use IBO and fast report, why is it so hard?

I found out that these files should be named IBO40XXX_D7 so I fixed that.

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:
