Rebuild 7.6 with Delphi 6

rbuser

I know this goes back a few years... but...

I needed a very minor change to some functionality in ReportBuilder 7.6. I
went into ppProd.pas and made the change... I was able to run without using
run-time packages... My app, though, requires run-time packages...

Are there some written steps I can follow to rebuild all RB packages?

If answer is yes, I also use RBAddOn... How about rebuilding that too?

We do not provide support for rebuilding the packages. Building packages has
the potential to corrupt the the machine because it generates another set of
set of.dcp's and .bpl's.

If you only change the implementation section of the unit, then you only
need to rebuild the package that contains the unit. So if you change the
implementation section of ppProd, then you only need to rebuild rbRCLxx.dpk.

If you change the interface section of the unit, then you need to rebuild
the package that contains the unit and all packages that require that
package.

If you open each package and examine the Requires clause you can quickly
determine the dependenceis.

I wanted to thank you... I didn't realize that about rebuilding packages,
that I could change what was in the interface and only need to recompile
that one package... I used the tag property to control some different
behaviour for my report in ppprod, rebuild rbRCL76 and all is working as I
want... Thanks again, Keith
