 |
|
Hello,
Does someone know why all versions of Builder so far add all available
packages to the <sparelibs> and <libraries> sections of the bpk file? Even
design time only packages? The IDE doesn't do this on every package I try
to install, but it does on a lot. I can find no consistent way to invoke
this behavior. I manually edit the bpk file, getting rid of all entries in
the two fields, and sometimes the IDE will leave the file alone and install
properly. I have tried remaking the project (bpk) file from scratch, but
lately, even that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Brady

If you go to Component-Install Packages menu (Odd I know) you can
uncheck components you don't want for this project and they *should* be
removed from this project.

Thanks, Pete.
I think i may have stumbled onto an answer. I don't think BC++B likes to
rebuild already installed packages, at least in some cases. For some
packages, i have to delete compiler generated files (objs, bpl, lib, bpi,
etc), uninstall the package from the ide, close BCB6, and then restart and
open the problematic package only. Click install, and pray that it works.
What is strange is that "Build with runtime packages" is checked, yet the
linker still links in the <sparelibs> or <libraries> files. Essentially,
these packages go into the "Contains" list of the package definition. Then
when the package is reloaded after the build, it cannot load because it
contains all these unneccesary packages.
BORLAND I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING AND HAS
EXISITED IN ALL VERSIONS OF C++ BUILDER. HELP A POOR COMPONENT WRITER OUT!
