SFXstub recompilation

[Kenth Nasstrom]

Hi Kevin,

I purchased the pro version as I have tried it and found vclzip to be easy to use. I also bought it for the sfxstub and the source.

I have tried to do a recompile of the stub included in the sfxsrcen.exe using Delphi 2.0, Delphi 3.0 and Delphi 6.0 and it wont compile in any of them. In several places are there reference to a .dof file one should not touch, but it is not included in the package.

So, if i install the source, open it in lets say Delphi 3 and press compile.

Should it compile straight of?

The errors I get are the following,


C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXgbls.pas(54) Error: Undeclared identifier: 'LongWord'
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXgbls.pas(103) Error: Undeclared identifier: 'Int64'
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(77) Error: Undeclared identifier: 'Int64'
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(248) Error: Invalid typecast
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(248) Error: Invalid typecast
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(249) Error: Invalid typecast
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(249) Error: Statement expected, but expression of t
ype 'Integer' found
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(250) Error: Invalid typecast
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\SFXmisc.pas(452)
C:\VCLZip\SFXSRC\sfxinflt.pas(35) Fatal: Could not compile used unit 'SFXmisc.pa
s'

both in Delphi 3 and 3. Delphi 6 complains about typecasts.

What I want to do really is to change the icon and nothing else :-)

Since it has been modified to handle larger files, it can't be compiled by D3 or lower because there is no Int64 capabilites. But D6 should compile it, with one modification. I downloaded the source and I did get the following error when I tried it:

"Constant object cannot be passed as var parameter"

To fix this, go into Compiler options and check (turn on) "Assignable typed constants".

To be sure you have all the same things checked, here's what I have tune on (checked):

Strict var-strings
Extended Syntax
Open Paramters
Huge strings
Assignable typed constants

I'm not sure they are all necessary, but that is what I have set.

I am not gettig the typecast error that you are getting, even without the dof file.

Thank's for your help Kevin.

I'll recompile in D6 later according to your instructions.

Saludos and

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
