dummzeuch 1495 Posted September 10, 2021 Yes, I know. I downloaded Delphi 11 yesterday late in the evening and installed it. Then I spent about half an hour creating the GExperts project for it and adapting some include files, but never finished it. Today won't fare any better. Maybe on the weekend.

BruceTTTT 7 Posted September 10, 2021 Appreciate the work too. I've been trying to modify the source myself to get it compiled on Alexandria, and making some progress, but I've hid a brick wall in the GX_OtaUtils unit. Telling me there are function declarations that don't agree with each other and I cannot find where the multiple declarations are (e.g. GxOtaGetEditorLine) for the life of me. I just can't use Delphi without GExperts. It's too painful when I've been used to it for years. Until GExperts is working, D11 will have to wait... Share this post Link to post

dummzeuch 1495 Posted September 11, 2021 The sources compile now. I haven't tested anything yet! Share this post Link to post
PeterPanettone 157 Posted September 11, 2021 1 hour ago, dummzeuch said: The sources compile now. I can confirm this for r3589: But how to install \Binaries\GExpertsRS110.dll? \BuildInstall\GExperts.iss has not yet been updated to Alexandria In \BuildInstall\MakeInstallers.cmd I have updated the ISCC.exe path to my existing path: set iscc="C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 6\ISCC.exe" ...and then executed MakeInstallers.cmd (with no apparent errors). However, the directory \BuildInstall\Output remains empty! Share this post Link to post
PeterPanettone 157 Posted September 11, 2021 In GExperts.iss I have added the Alexandria compiler definition: #ifdef RS110 #define IDEShortName "RADStudio" #define IDELongName "RAD Studio" #define IDEVer "11.0" #define DLLSuffix "RS110" #define IDERegName "BDS" #define IDERegVer "22" #endif Is this correct?

dummzeuch 1495 Posted September 11, 2021 If you update your sources, you will now find a Register-GExperts-XX110.cmd script in .\binaries which will register the DLL with the IDE. All other required files are already in .\binaries so it should work. Share this post Link to post
