Cannot install FastReport 2.5x or 3.x with TeeChart 7.x Pro

We bought FR3 to get the new features, but are not able to install the
modules in D6 sp2. When trying to install first one, fs6.dpk, it requires
to compile package Tee76 (initially Tee77), but we do not have the source,
so we cannot compile it. FR3 initially requires module Tee77 for D6, but
there are no modules like Tee77 in TeeChart 7.04 for D6. We changed that to
Tee76, but no help.

I was used to these package version problems especially with other reporting
programs years ago and thought that it is history now (a.d. 2005) but no. I
have asked instructions from FastReport and they replayed twice, but the
instructions did not solve the problem. Now they do not replay any more.
Maybe they do not know the solution or they do not care.

Has anybody else had same problems or any experience to install FR2.5x or
FR3.x after TeeChart 7.04 Pro without source.

Rgs..

Hi Pauli
TeeChart packages are numbered like "TeeChart version" and "Delphi version".
ie: Tee76 means TeeChart v7 for Delphi v6.
Tee77 means TeeChart v7 for Delphi v7.

Quote:
When trying to install first one, fs6.dpk, it requires to compile
package Tee76 (initially Tee77), but we do not have the source,

This problem is probably caused because fs6.dpk package has not correctly
set its "Search Path" (Project ->Options->Directories->Search Path) pointing
to TeeChart "Lib" folder. When Delphi compiles a package and cannot find
"Tee76.dcp" file, it tries to look for the sources.

Another cause might be "fs6.dpk" wrongly requiring "Tee77" package instead of "Tee76".
At package compilation, Delphi 6 will complain because "Tee77" is for Delphi 7, not for Delphi 6.

Sources shouldn't be necessary to recompile other packages that require TeeChart packages.

Please visit our monitored support forums (for customers) at:

or free newsgroups (for non-customers) at:

And we'll be gladly to help you in recompiling FR packages.

Hmm... lots of compilation problems are solved in TeeChart latest versions thanks to
a "TeeRecompile.exe" tool that automatically compiles and installs all TeeChart packages
for all Delphi and C++ Builder versions, with a single button click.
But I think in this case part of the problem is you are using very old Delphi v6 (a.d. 2001).

Hi david,

thanks for your information.

I am not very deeply familiar with packages, because we do not use them.
All in one exe causes a lot less trouble.

FR3 version for D6 and TeeChart 7 Pro is not yet ready, it is only something
like. When I installed it for first time it required all kinds of packages
because in FS6.dpk there were these lines:
requires
VCL,
TEE,
TEE45,
TEE55,
TEE67,
TEE66,
TEE77,
VCLX;

I asked FastReport if all these are really necessary and they replied:

Recoveri original FS package from distributiv.
Quote:
Must be like:
{$IFDEF TeeChartStd} TEE, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart45} TEE45, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart55} TEE55, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart6} TEE67, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart66} TEE66, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart7} TEE77, {$ENDIF}

This did not help.

I also looked at frx6.dpk and there is:

requires
VCL,
{$IFDEF JPEG}
VCLJPG,
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChartStd} TEE, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart45} TEE45, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart55} TEE55, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart6} TEE67, {$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF TeeChart66} TEE66, {$ENDIF}
fs6;

So in fs.dpk fixed version there is also TeeChart 7 Pro, but only for D7, in
frx.dpk TeeChart 7 is totally missing. I changed these but did not help. I
also put TeeChart 7 lib directory to almost every path without any help.

I do not mind, it is up to them, but they should inform better those who are
buying their products about the limitations or use.

We use TeeChart Pro features, so we need that, we do not use FR3 features,
but, how it was, we bought it, maybe to support. So what are the options.
Go on using Fr 2.47 and buy export filters, buy Fr3 source and try to fix
the D6 version for TeeChart 7, try to get TeeChart 6 Pro, start looking for
another reporting program with longer support...

Why to use old D6, because D7, D8... do not give us anything usefull. It
would cost and also bring some new problems, so why bother. We are making
mainly traditional DB user interfaces, 20-200 forms and 10-60 reports per
application, DBs: Sybase, MS. Oracle, Firebird... Only data is travelling
during operation through network and this works very well also via DSL and
VPN, so there is no need for e.g. thin clients. In most application all but
Db libraries are in one exe so changing version is really easy. When it
comes to www or internet we use java.
