TeeChart 2011.04 Pro With Source Code installation fails

[Pierre Yager]

Installation for Delphi 2010 succeeds :

================================================================================
TeeChart Installation
VERSION: 2011
RAD 2010.Win32 v14 Architect (Delphi and C++Builder 2010 Update 5 (Database Pack)) (RAD v7 Architect) (C++)
OK. Time: 9s
================================================================================

But it fails for XE2 Update 2 :

RAD XE2.Win32 v16 (RAD XE v9 Enterprise) (C++)
EXCEPTION:
Text: unit teeGDIPAPI not found in teeGDIPAPI.pas
--------------------------------------------

Note that it still find very strange that TeeRecompile.exe don't see "Delphi" compilers for All RAD XE2 entries, it only shows :

RAD XE2.Win32 c 16 (RAD XE v9 Entreprise) (C++)

where it shows for Delphi 2010 :

RAD 2010.Win32 v 14 Architect (Delphi and C++Builder 2010)

Hi Pierre,

But it fails for XE2 Update 2 :

RAD XE2.Win32 v16 (RAD XE v9 Enterprise) (C++)
EXCEPTION:
Text: unit teeGDIPAPI not found in teeGDIPAPI.pas
--------------------------------------------

Are you using the latest 2011.04.41118 build we published yesterday?

Note that it still find very strange that TeeRecompile.exe don't see "Delphi" compilers for All RAD XE2 entries, it only shows :

RAD XE2.Win32 c 16 (RAD XE v9 Entreprise) (C++)

It works fine for me here, do you have full RAD XE2 installed at your machine? Does this also occur with yesterday's release?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Pierre,

Could you please also tell us if you have full RAD XE2 installed at your machine?
TeeRecompile usually shows 4 entries for XE2 (Win32, Win64, MacOSX and iOS). If TeeRecompile only shows one entry it may be finding just one of the personalities.

Could you please also tell us if you have full RAD XE2 installed at your machine?

Yes RAD Studio XE2 is fully installed with all personalities. I installed French and English languages.

TeeRecompile usually shows 4 entries for XE2 (Win32, Win64, MacOSX and iOS). If TeeRecompile only shows one entry it may be finding just one of the personalities.

TeeRecompile shows 4 entries but between parenthesis, at the end of the compiler line, it only shows (C++) (see attached screenshot)

Hello Pierre,

The "(C++)" in the string that identifies the IDE is normal. It just indicates that the IDE has a C++ personality. It's also in the RAD2010 checkbox but this string is so long that it's partially hidden. The RADXE2 strings is one of the things we want to clean for the next maintenance releases.
However, as you can see in my screenshot, it works fine for me here.

I'm not sure about what can be happening here. We'll continue investigating it.

I reinstalled Teechart Pro 2011 "Source Code" from scratch. And checked only the RAD Studio XE2 checkboxes in TeeRecompile and it worked. I don't know why I didn't worked with my first installation.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Regards,

I reproduced the problem and I found the fix !

Don't ask me why because I installed Teechart on a Windows 7 machine using NTFS file system and AFAIK Windows if not case sensitive, but, to fix the problem I have had to uppercase the first letter of TeeGDIAPI.pas and TeeGDIOBJ.pas... They were lowercased : teeGDIAPI.pas and teeGDIOBJ.pas !

Now it works everytime I run TeeRecompile.exe... This world becomes stranger and stranger...

Bonjour Pierre,

Don't ask me why because I installed Teechart on a Windows 7 machine using NTFS file system and AFAIK Windows if not case sensitive, but, to fix the problem I have had to uppercase the first letter of TeeGDIAPI.pas and TeeGDIOBJ.pas... They were lowercased : teeGDIAPI.pas and teeGDIOBJ.pas !

Now it works everytime I run TeeRecompile.exe...

My installation is on the same environment (NTFS Win7 x64)... Wait! TeeGDIAPI.pas and TeeGDIOBJ.pas were already uppercase in my TeeChart v2011.04 SourceCode installation. So, if we find why they became lowerecase for you we'll find the origin of the problem. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you found it!

This world becomes stranger and stranger...
