BDS2006 unresolved externals

[aemsley]

Hi,

I'm trying to install VCLZip v2.23 under BDS2006. I have made the changes referenced in other posts to the KBDEFS.INC file to overcome other problems, but when the project links, I get two unresolved externals, as below;

[Linker Error] Error: Unresolved external '__tpdsc__ System::String' referenced from C:\PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\BDS\4.0\SOURCE\WIN32\VCL\VCLZIP V2\KPZIPOBJ.OBJ

[Linker Error] Error: Unresolved external '__fastcall Kplib::CBigRate(System::Comp, System::Comp)' referenced from C:\PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\BDS\4.0\SOURCE\WIN32\VCL\VCLZIP V2\DEBUG_BUILD\VCLUNZIP.OBJ

Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Thanks

Andrew

Be sure your modification in KPDEFS.INC looks like this. That is, the block of code you add there should look like this...

{$IFDEF VER180} { Delphi/BCB 2006}
{$DEFINE DELPHI_BCB_3}
{$DEFINE HAS_64_BIT_INT}
{$WARN SYMBOL_PLATFORM OFF}
{$WARN UNIT_PLATFORM OFF}
{$DEFINE INT64STREAMS}
{$IFDEF __BORLANDC__} { BCB 2006 }
{$DEFINE ISBCB6}
{$DEFINE ISBCB2006}
{$DEFINE ISBCB}
{$ObjExportAll On}
{$ELSE} { Delphi 2006 }
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI4}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI5}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI6}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI7}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI2005}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI2006}
{$DEFINE ISDELPHI}
{$DEFINE ISCLX}
{$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}

No good, I'm afraid, Kevin.

I've put the block down towards the end of the .INC file, just after the section for BCB 4.

Other than saving the changes, do I need to do anything else after changing this file? I'm just opening the package in DBS2006 and building it - it builds fine, but I get these linker errors/

Hi Andrew,

Actually I have never tried to modify VCLZip Lite to work with anything above Delphi 7 or BCB 6 since I do not plan to do any further development with VCLZip Lite. I just checked and I see that I get the same errors so I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow since it is getting a bit on the late side here now.

Thanks, Kevin.

Does VCLZip Pro work under BDS2006? I'm quite happy to upgrade (if the price ir reasonable, of course!)

Speak to you later

Andrew

[Kevin]

Yes, Pro works with BDS2006 with the one change to KPDEFS.INC. If you shoot me a private email, I can give you a coupon number that allows you to get the upgrade for only the difference in price between Lite and Pro, $40.

Kevin,

Have you been getting the emails I've sent to [e-mail] about the coupon. I'm keen to get moving on this.

Thanks

Andrew

Sorry, no, I have not. I have been having a lot of troubles with my bigfoot email addresses so I am going to start transitioning away from bigfoot. Send your email to:

[e-mail]

I should get that.

Thanks,

Kevin
