GreatisUltimatePack for Delphi 10.4 Sydney

[PeterPanettone 153]

 

GreatisUltimatePack is an old LEGACY Delphi library with still useful components and routines.

 

AFAIK GreatisUltimatePack has been discontinued and the author cannot be reached anymore.

 

For anyone who still wants to use this library:

To make GreatisUltimatePack compatible with Delphi 10.4 Sydney you should apply these changes:

 

Search the units for:

 

{$IFDEF VER330}
{$DEFINE XE2PLUS}
{$ENDIF}

Then add these lines to the above lines:

 

{$IFDEF VER340}
{$DEFINE XE2PLUS}
{$ENDIF}

This should make it possible to install the component package in Delphi 10.4 Sydney: Ultimate.dpk

Good tip! I  have a number of old libraries like this that I keep using with newer Delphi versions.  My solutions is to do something like:

 

{$if CompilerVersion >= 23}
 {$DEFINE XE2PLUS}
{$ifend}

That way I don't have to keep changing it with new releases.

The possibilities in Delphi are endless. The compiler is your friend!
