 |
|
I have converted an app from BCB5 to BDS2006. But when it is installed
on another computer, it complains about missing the designide.bpi file.
It was in the requires list for all of the packages that I created so I
deleted it. I compiled each package in the release mode without the
designide.bpi in the requires list. Still no good. I then deleted all
of the .obj, .tds, .lib, .bpi, .bpl, and the .dsk files for each
package. Recompiled all but it still fails. Any ideas?

You should not have had any design-time code in your application to begin
with. You must separate design-time code from run-time code. Design-time
code only works with the IDE itself. It does not belong in applications at
all.

NEVER include design-time code in run-time packages.

What packages are you referring to exactly? Are they runtime-only or
designtime-only packages? If you have packages that are marked as being for
both run-time and design-time, then you likely need to redesign those
packages.

I didn't add the designide.bpi to the requires list. It showed up when I
was marking the packages I needed for the package I was building. I will
have to do some investigating as to what put it there. My app was
originally built with BCB4. I was in the end stages of converting it to
BCB5 with many changes when BDS2006 came along. So I changed over to it.
I will have to look at my packages to see if they were marked for both
design time & release. The app had gotten so large that I broke it up
into packages. It gets confusing sometimes when talking about packages
as it isn't always clear if we're talking about VCL packages or the ones
we build.  Thanks for the info!!

It's part of the RAD scheme of BDS to add requires items for you. For
example, if you add a TDBChart derived component to a package, dbrtl.bpi
and teedb.bpi get added automatically. I suggest checking your "uses"
lists, source, and/or headers included for things that are in
...\source\toolsapi (like designeditors, e.g.).
There is a discussion of separating design code here:
