Trying to install JCL but I got error

[William23668 8]

Hi

I got latest JCL from here:

https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl

 

But when I try to install using jcl\install.bat I got this error:

Include file "source\include\jedi\jedi.inc" not found.

 

I added the jedi.inc manually from jedi folder but I still get same error. How to install these components ?

Almost all my problems with JCL and JVCL installs were because of I had somewhere on the disk (on the path) another instance of JCL/JVCL, which was (partially) used instead of the new version.

I dont have any other places for these components. I did not use JVCL from like so many years

That's funny. Almost all my problems with JCL and JVCL was caused by the fact that I installed them in the first place. Easily solvable though 🙂

I'm not sure but I think it needs to be installed using some sort of installer which then generates the include file based on something, something, whatever, at this point I gave up and deleted everything.

They only write to use jcl\install.bat in github

Yeah but have you looked into install.bat (warning: have the suicide prevention hotline on speed dial if you do):

:: compile installer
echo.
echo ===================================================================
echo Compiling JediInstaller...
build\dcc32ex.exe %INSTALL_VERBOSE% --runtime-package-rtl --runtime-package-vcl -q -dJCLINSTALL -E..\bin -I..\source\include -U..\source\common;..\source\windows JediInstaller.dpr
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto FailedCompile
:: New Delphi versions output "This product doesn't support command line compiling" and then exit with ERRORLEVEL 0
if not exist ..\bin\JediInstaller.exe goto FailedCompile

echo.

I tried again now with another jedi.inc but I got :

The "source\include\jedi\jedi.inc" include file is outdated.

[William23668 8]

Problem solved found one of the jedi.inc that solved the problem !!

No, it's just begun.

 

Okay, I'll stop now. I think I got my point across 🙂

The "Jedi Common Files" aka jedi.inc / kylix,inc are in the repository: https://github.com/project-jedi/jedi

 

You must extract this two files in the 'jcl\source\include\jedi' directory.
