Hi Farshad

 

Embarcadero have introduced a deal called the delphi XE starter (£142 - new £106 - upgrade)

I'm seriously considering getting this, but I wanted to make sure that UniGui would work ok with it.

 

I haven't tried installing uniGUI on Starter. I think it should be no different than standard XE.

 

Has anyone tried installing uniGUI on Delphi starter?

Hi farshad

 

With a fresh install of Delphi XE Starter (Update 1) I am getting :

 

[DCC Fatal Error] uniGUI15Ex.dpk(32): E2202 Required package 'tee' not found

 

when I try to build all.

 

I have seen similar problems in other posts on the forum, but this does not seem the same.

It seems that XE Starter does not include the Chart components.

 

Is this the only problem with XE Starter? Can you install other uniGUI components in uniGUI15dcl.dpk?

Yes, I'm running throught the demos and having a play , it all seems to be fine, I will post anything I find here.

Great. I will make a separate package for UniChart components.

 

 

Hi Farshad

 

the TeeChart components seem to cause a few problems.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the TAChart codebase from Lazarus instead..

It might help to resolve a lot of these problems.

Doesn't Zeoslib has a XE version?

 

 

I thought so, (The Delphi14 package)

but after spending a while fighting with Pansichar() casting and {$IFDEF DELPHI_12UP} wierdness, I got no-where.

 

The only DB connectivity they have left in the starter edition is BDE and Interbase.. Not much good connecting to sqlite, and I swore I'd never build another application on BDE...

Please check your Delphi Library path:

 

$(fmsoft)\unitools;

$(fmsoft)\unigui;

$(fmsoft)\unigui\uIndy;

$(fmsoft)\unigui\CSSParser;

$(fmsoft)\unigui\synedit\Source;

$(fmsoft)\unigui\extpascal;

 

Above paths should be there.

Ok, the paths were missing for some reason..

I re-installed and now its fine.. The same thing happened with my BDS2006 install

 

 

Thanks Farshad

Maybe there are issues related to installing uniGUI after a fresh installation of Delphi. One known issue is that you need to run Delphi at least once before you install uniGUI.

I don't use Started Edition but ZeosLib yes. You need to download the lastest version of svn source.

 

I'm using ZeosLib on XE with Firebird 2.5 with only two problems.

 

1) The TZSequence encloses with double quotes the names of the generators but is a simple change on the source files to make it work.

 

2) Sometimes when TZConnection.Disconnect is called, hangs. Workarround, simply don't make the call. I'm still have no time to trace this problem.

 

Best Regards
