As before, I've posted this to Torry's forum, but it seems to have a much
lower level of activity, hence opening this up to you folks.

The Mitov AudioLab and SignalLab are really superb, and I would recommend
them to everyone. However, I've got in a right mess with using them in
D2006.

I've added a number of Mitov components (TALAudioIn, etc) to my application.
At first it all worked perfectly. But then something weird happened: the
compile failed with the following error:

F2502 Unit ALAudioIn was compiled with a different version of OWPins.TOWPin

At the same time, the wiggly underline appears below the ALAudioIn entry in
the 'uses' section of my main form, and the pop-up hint says:

Cannot resolve unit name 'ALAudioIn'

I've uninstalled and reinstalled AudioLab and SignalLab countless times.
Also I've removed and added the components several times as well.

All sorts of other weird things happen. I'll start a new project, add a
TALAudioIn, and it seems fine. Then I'll close it, open up my 'broken' app,
close that and return to the new project. And this one is broken too!

I've spent literally all day wrestling with this. Now I can't build my
application unless I remove all the Mitov components. Unfortunately, the
whole application relies on them!

Am I doing something obviously wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? I
hope you can help - I'm pretty desperate!

Thanks,

Thack

Hi Staiger,
In case of such troubles, you can contact me directly at mitov (AT) mitov (DOT) com
. From the description it appears that something gets messed up with
the BDS configuration. Can you please send me the problematic project,
so we can try to see what is wrong with it. If possible, please zip he
full directory and put it on FTP or something, together with the .dcu
files and anything else. We will try to reproduce it on a clean machine.
Also please let us know what version of BDS it is? Professional,
Enterprise, English, German and what updates are installed.

With best regards,
Boian Mitov

Hi Boian,

Thank you very much for your kind offer.

I was reluctant to bother you at your private email address - after all,
we've all got to have some time off!

I'll do exactly as you say tomorrow morning.

Thank you again.

Boian's colleague Jonathan Benedicto has worked hard on this and sorted out
the problem.

It was caused by my having the compiler Record Alignment set to 1, whereas
the Mitov components are compiled with the alignment set to 8.

For some reason this causes the build to fail with the error:

F2502 Unit ALAudioIn was compiled with a different version of OWPins.TOWPin

....which is misleading and unhelpful.

Note that Delphi defaults to a record alignment of 1, so if you experience
odd problems with the Mitov components try setting it to 8.

I've suggested to Boian that a note of this is added to the documentation
for the Mitov components.

My thanks to Jonathan Benedicto for identifying the problem, and to Boian
Mitov for a superb set of components.

My apologies. Delphi 2006, at least, defaults to a record alignment of 8,
not 1 as I stated.

Boian suspects that importing the project from D5 maybe caused the alignment
problem.

Anyway, my apologies to Boian and everyone else for my mistake on the record
alignment. Just for the record, leave it at the default 8 if you're using
Boian's components.

My thanks once again to Boian and Jonathan.
