Cannot recompile Delphi package: Tee928.dpk

[Ace]

Hello everyone,

I just registered as a new user of TeeChart. Before that, I have been using the version that comes with the IDE, so I don't know much about the installation of TeeChart.

I downloaded the latest source files and binaries, do I need to install both?

When I installed the source file program, it was prompted to compile, and it started to execute after I modified the path, but an error occurred:

Does anyone know where the problem is?

Hello,

That's strange. It builds without issues for me:

Can you try downloading the installer again?

[Ace]

Hi Yeray,

Thanks for the reply.

I still encountered the same error message after re-downloading and installing, my IDE version is RAD Studio 11.2 Patch 1 (28.0.46141.0937).

[Yeray]

Hello,

Could you please check if the line 1014 in the "Source\TeeConst.pas" is as follows?

Code: Select all

  TeePolarDegreeSymbol        :='°';

[Ace]

No, in notepad++ it looks like gibberish:

[Ace]

Hi Yeray,

I need your help.

I tried to use hexadecimal characters to represent this gibberish-looking symbol, but I found two symbols in ASCII Code that are very similar to it, Should I choose #B0 or ​​#BA ?

[Yeray]

Hello,

It's the degree symbol/sign, B0

[Ace]

Hi Yeray,

I changed line 1014 to:

Code: Select all

TeePolar Degree Symbol :=#$B0;

Compile again, an error is reported on line 612, it seems that '©' is not correctly recognized.

So I replace it with #$A9:

Code: Select all

TeeMsg_Copyright          :={$IFDEF LCL}'(C)'{$ELSE}#$A9{$ENDIF}+' 1995-2022 by Steema Software';

continue to compile, this time it returns to line 1014 to report an error:

VCLTee.TeeConst.pas(1014) Error: E1057 Implicit string cast from 'AnsiChar' to 'string'.

I don't know where the problem is, so I had to copy and paste the code you showed above and continue compiling. This time it was the VCLTee.TeeFormatting.pas file, line 612, and I opened it and found that it seemed to have the same problem as the VCLTee.TeeConst.pas file, line 1014, which made I feel very sad, what's the problem?

This is my system information: Windows 11 enterprise, version 22H2 Build 22621.521, Simplified Chinese, is there something wrong with my operating system character set?

Would you give me a version that compiles fine?

[Yeray]

Hello,

Indeed, we detected some unicode issues with Chinese machines. We'll revise that.
In the meanwhile, you should be able to correct the "Source\TeeConst.pas" is as follows and run TeeRecompile:
Line 612:

Code: Select all

TeeMsg_Copyright :={$IFDEF LCL}'(C)'{$ELSE}'©'{$ENDIF}+' 1995-2022 by Steema Software';

Line 1014:

Code: Select all

TeePolarDegreeSymbol        :='°';

[Yeray]

Hello,

An alternative is to change your system locale as follows:
