Hello Narcís,

I cannot compile the package as FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll is missed. Now I have downlooaded the latest FastMM package but there is no real install instruction.
How to install or where to place the included precompiled FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll and FastMM_FullDebugMode64.dll ?

Thanks for assistance
Uli

Hi Narcís,

I've found a message where it has been told to place the FastMM_FullDebugMode.dlls into System32 and SysWOW64. But now I get a message by TeeRecompile with

TeeRecompile.exe: Cannot install FastMM4 - Memory has already been allocated

FastMM4 cannot install since memory has already been allocated through the default memory manager.
FastMM4.pas MUST be the first unit in your project's .dpr file, otherwise memory may be allocated through the default memory manager before FastMM4 gains control.

Honestly speaking I do not understand what I have to do. My Delphi XE2 is freshly installed, no other modifications. TeeChart is freshly installed. So there should be some information anyway how to install correctly. The install.txt file incuded with your package has no information about FastMM.

Hello Narcís,

despite the quoted message above the Recompile tool allows to compile. No error.
But the IDE now shows just a few TeeChart components, a compnent like TChartEditor is just shown in grey color and cannot be selected.

BTW I'm happy to have selected a different install folder for the source code. IMO it does not make sense to use the same folder "TeeChart Pro 2011 Full Source Code" for the new code and to overwrite a previous installation for e.g. Delphi XE. At least I can still use my XE version. Please change to a different install folder.

Best regards
Uli

I have been lucky to find some text in the web, see http://www.delphifeeds.com/go/f/84268?u ... eds.com%29

So I followed the instruction

Code: Select all

I have told you last week that there will be FastMM updates for XE2 this week, meanwhile Pierre le Riche committed a lot changes and FastMM for XE2/Win64 should be complete from the functional side. You can find the changes in the FastMM SVN repository at SourceForge. When you do already have a FastMM working copy then just update it and if you do not have one yet the steps are:

    start Delphi
    File | Open From Version Control…
    enter as URL
    https://fastmm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fastmm
    enter a destination directory
    OK and wait till everything has been checked out

I have re-installed FastMM according to the instruction and also recompiled TeeChart. There is still the TeeRecompile message (warning?) that FastMM cannot be installed. But now after compilation the packages are included and also the TeeChart VCL components can be selected as usual.

I have just added this message. Maybe it helps others to get TeeChart installed.

Best regards
Uli

Hi Uli,

That was a mistake from our side, FastMM packages shouldn't be necessary, they should only be used in-house. At this thread this was also discussed and I posted a new TeeRecompile version which should fix it. Could you please check if this works fine for you?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcís,

is that really necessary?
As reported I have installed FastMM now. Why to uninstall now? It is working.

Best regards

Hi Uli,

You just need to download the TeeRecompile.exe, run it and check if it throws the FastMM error, no need to reinstall anything, you can close TeeRecompile without compiling and installing any package.

Thanks in advance.

Narcís,

I have tested the Recompiler.exe now, there is no error message regarding FastMM.
But I do not believe that this is a result that you like to get. As told in my previous message I have successfully installed FastMM for XE2 now. So also the recompile tool of the source code package has already done the job sucessfully.

Best regards
Uli

Hello Uli,

Thanks for the information.
The TeeRecompile version in the thread Narcís pointed you doesn't show any message regarding FastMM in the same machines where the built-in version of TeeRecompile does. I think Narcís only wanted to hear about another external experience with the modified version. So thank you again.

If you find any problem, don't hesitate to let us know.

Hello,

The final version has been published now, more info in this thread.
