I don't know if we should start a new thread specifically to discuss compiling the overnights in C++ Builder 12.2? I tried both the groupproj and the individual .cbproj files. groupproj was not working at all, but I have traditionally had better luck compiling and installing each of the cbproj file separately. However, just trying to compile ICSCommonCBNewRun failed when compiling the 32-bit version. I got this error from ilink32 [ilink32 Error] Error: Unresolved external '__InitVCL' referenced from C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\EMBARCADERO\STUDIO\23.0\LIB\WIN32C\RELEASE\CP32MT.LIB|crtlvcl [ilink32 Error] Error: Unresolved external '__ExitVCL' referenced from C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\EMBARCADERO\STUDIO\23.0\LIB\WIN32C\RELEASE\CP32MT.LIB|crtlvcl I was not having this issue in previous attempts. I was able at one point to compile and install all 32-bit packages, although could never get my program working. @HTMLvalidator, were you able to get the groupproj to compile without changing many options? Can you try whatever you did with the overnights, per Angus' request? It would be nice to have a stable, easily installable C++ version upon which future builds could be made that includes all of Angus' significant improvements. thanks.

Just downloaded the overnights and trying this weekend, Angus. Sorry it's taken so long, but I'm being smashed with my current project.

Thank you! This is the only thing keeping me from moving to 12.2 (I couldn't get 9.x to compile on it), so I'll try this soon! Did you have to use the 'classic' borland compiler for the 32-bit?

Thanks, Angus. Until I can get the new version working with C++ Builder (Been crushed at work and haven't had time to get at it), I have to use 8.x, where someone else might have this issue. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had this issue with 8.x, not 9.x

Just FYI in case anyone else has a similar problem, My app was working fine on my development machine, but stopped when I put it on a client machine. I was having this problem (didn't load Libcrypto-1_1.dll), and put LoadLibrary into my app at startup, but it still wasn't working (although it wasn't failing on LoadLibrary) Error was *still* reported as that it couldn't load Libcrypto-1_1.dll. However, the issue was that I was missing libssl-1_1.dll, Once I copied that into the directory, it worked well. Was still getting the Application Exception error instead of a clean exception, but didn't seem to affect performance.

Thanks, Angus. I'll give 'em a try this week.

Have to give up on this for now. TFTPServer and TSslFTPServer do not seem to work for me in C++ Builder. I can compile and run the .dproj demo (it works correctly), but cannot create the simplest native C++ Builder app with either component. It connects (triggers OnClientConnect), but then hangs. I can't seem to debug into the .pas source, so can't figure out why. The fact I can run the .dproj sample program okay would indicate to me that the .lib file is correct, and it must be something about how the .hpp files are generated that somehow screw it up? Anyway, if there's anyone else using C++ out there, I've sent Angus some updates for the package directory .proj files that make the library compilable. Maybe the other components work, but T(Ssl)FTPServer doesn't seem to, unfortunately.

Thanks Angus, I'll try your suggestions now. The server never responds with the "Welcome" lines. it does trigger a "ConnectClient" event, (I can log this okay), but then never returns control to my ftp session to allow me to enter a USER command. Will let you know how I get on with your suggestions, thanks.

It calls OnClientConnect, and I am able to enter some log entries there (although as I mentioned, Client->GetPeerAddr() returns '' in it). But then, nothing. My understanding of the component is it should then send a request for User/Pass, but it doesn't seem to get to this point. Is there some other trigger between connect and the Banner/request for User that I might trap to log? Here's what inspecting the Client * looks like in OnClientConnect. It looks...incomplete? ftpState is ftpcWaitingUserCode, but on the client side, control hasn't returned to me to enter USER or PASS. Does this suggest an issue at a lower-level function?

I'll try. It's strange. I wrote two apps, one with the TFtpClient component, one with the TFtpServer component. If I use the *updated* client app with the *old* TFtpServer app (the one written with 8.7, the last time I was able to compile ICS in C++ Builder), it works fine. As soon as I try replacing the old TFtpServer App with the new one, it stops. I was logging ClientConnect in the new version, and noticed that when it's called, the PeerAddr is NULL. Something must have changed. I'll check the changelogs to see if I can pinpoint what's happened, but as of now, I'd say TFtpServer is not backwards compatible in C++ Builder, while TFtpClient still works correctly (8.7->9.3).. I'll try using an sslFTPServer component and see if I have any better luck, too. Just writing these in case anyone else is trying to get this working in C++ Builder.

I was finally able to compile and install ICS 9.3 for C++ Builder 12.2, and while I was able to compile and run the (delphi, .dproj) SslFTPServer demo, when I create a new C++ Builder project and place a TFTPServer (Not an TSslFTPServer) component on the form, I can connect to it using a regular ftp client, but the connection doesn't seem to "Return". That is, I can't enter a subsequent command like USER or PASS. Even though I've compiled the ics library with debug info, I can't seem to debug into overbyteicsftpSrv,pas just OverbyteicsWsockets.pas. I know there aren't a lot of C++ Builder users here, but I can't think of why something would compile and run with the libs I installed in C++ Builder as a .dproj, I can't build a simple C++ App (literally 1 component on a form). Might anyone have an idea? Thanks.

Just installed 12.2 and pulled the most recent build, and nothing compiles/builds/installs properly in C++ Builder. I guess I'll have to start from scratch again trying to get this compiled and installed. Sorry, Angus. Does Embarcadero not offer any support for stuff like this? I'd think if they're willing to put a Delphi installation in GetIt, they'd be willing to help create a C++ installation, esp. given their work on C++ for this version of Rad Studio.

I think we made more progress attempting to get 9.2 installed and working on C++ Builder 12, but we're not quite there yet. Something about the way it's linking means it doesn't create the .lib file. I'd start there first, instead of 9.1.

Hey Angus, when I try to compile this new group (or individual projects) in C++ Builder v12.1, I'm getting an ilink32 error "Unable to open file "ICSCOMMONCBNEWRUN.LIB". It does not appear to be creating it? Specifically, I get this arcane error: c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\23.0\Bin\CodeGear.Cpp.Targets(4197,5): error : Fatal: Unable to open file 'ICSCOMMONCBNEWRUN.LIB' I'm going to compare the earlier ilink32 command (v9.1) to the ilink32 here and see what's different (I was able to build ICSCOMMONCBNEWRUN.LIB" in v9.1) Will keep you apprised.

Yeah, that was what I feared. If I strip the .libs back to absolutely nothing, do you know if there is a way to find the filename of the lib that contains the function that is preventing the linker from linking? [Obviously not for 3rd party libs, but maybe at least RAD Studio has a resource that says "function XX is in library YY, with filename ZZ"]? Thanks for your suggestions.
