RB7 and D5: 'file not found' when using RB sample components

rbuser

It seems there is a problem when using the ReportBuilder Sample Components
with the new RB7 version for Delphi 5.

- create a new report
- place a TmyCheckBox in the report
- try to compile without runtime-packages

The problem does not occur with runtime-packages.

You need to find and add ..\RBuilder\Demos\RCL to your library path. This
is where the MyChkBox.pas file is located in the installation.

There is no problem with the design time packages. The difference is that
the RB 7 installation script doesn't copy the source to the checkbox in the
RBuilder\Source directory. The dcu does exist in the RBuilder\Lib directory
so you should be able to compile without runtime packages. If you are trying
to compile using the RBuilder\Source directory, you'll need to also point
towards the RBuilder\Demos\RCL directory to find the MyChkBox.pas file.

That's the problem. Since RB 7 i'm not able to compile without runtime
packages. I'm using the standard RB installation without modification.

No problems with RB 6.03. So there must be a difference between both
installations.

I should mention, this works with D7/RB7 but not with D5/RB7.

You're right. In D5, the dcu in RBuilder\Lib is compiled with a different
date. We'll have to fix this. In the mean time, you can point to the
RBuilder\Lib and RBuilder\Demos\RCL directories in order to recompile
without packages.
