Well, I finally decided because of a few bugs in WPTools 5 to upgrade to WPTools 6.
As usual, trying to get it installed in C Builder 2007 is like being one's own dentist :shock:!
I only have the C Builder 2007 personality (i.e. no Delphi). The command line DCC32 compiler always complains about missing files.
Does any one have a package file for WPTOOLS 6 with C Builder 2007?
I really would appreciate any help!

Shane
Hi,
Did you you run WPTools 5 with it. V6 should not be no different.
Which version of BCB2007 do you have. Mine is 11.0.2804.9245. I have some problems with C-Builder 2007 I must admit. I usually recommend to only use the PRO version with BCB.
[ILINK32 Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'DB.OBJ'
[ILINK32 Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'DESIGNEDITORS.OBJ'
For missing files during compilation some packages have to be added under "Requires": (dbrtl.bpi, vcl, vclx, designide)
Under "Delphi Compiler Options" in the field "Use package when compiling" this package is required: designide.
The Commandline flag should be -LUdesignide as far as I remember.
And in the options make sure the compiler define WP6 is active
(or in file WPINC.INC)
I posted my package project here:

Julian,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I wasn't sure how different WPTools 5 was against WPTools 6 so I just installed WPTools6 into WPTools6 directory and removed all references of WPTools5 from my IDE. The WPTools 6 install program did not include a CBuilder 2007 package file.
I am using C Builder 2007 Pro with all latest patches applied.
I have a conference call this AM and I will try your recommendations when I can.
Again, thanks for quick response!
Best regards,
Shane
Julian,
I tried the package you sent me and I am getting the following linker errors:

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
It took me a while and a second approach to find the solution myself.
All units have to be included in the package (under "Contains").
I mailed that package to you. Since You do not have wpreporter simply delete "wpdbeval.pas".
Regards,
Julian
Julian,
Well, I removed that file and now I am getting can't find WPFontPrp.dcu.
If I remove the unit from the build, I still get the same error.
Any chance of getting a package that will compile with C Builder 2007 with WPDF support?
I am getting hounded by one of my customers for some fixes of WPTools 5.x problems and they don't understand the excuse "I can't get the new version to compile / install on my machine yet"!
I appreciate your help but I really need to get this working a little "faster"!
Best Regards,
Shane
Hi,
for all: Please install the WPToiols 6 update right over WPTools 5. You can then recompile Your package and projects and continue working with it.
The problem You are getting probably comes from C-Builders way to add the library path to a project. This is only done when the package is created first. When the path is modified later or the package was created on a different system, the new library path is not loaded into the project options.
Therefor the path property of the object must be editied to add the wPDF and WPTools paths.
I can compile a wPDF package when I just add the conditional WPPDFEX to the package options.
I did it in that package, too:
http://www.wpcubed.com/ftp/WPTools6_BCB2007_wpdf.zip
But you will need to edit the paths to make it work on Your system, too.
Tips to sucessfully compile a WPTools project with C++Builder 2007
- if error "headerfile not found" add the path to the include directories
- if error "unresolved external" add the unit, for example WPRTRDefs.pas to project.
- if error *.res not found please check project search path, add the RES file, too.
- if error "unknown property" - make sure conditional WP6 has been defined

Julian
Julian,
I finally decided to try my old WPTools 5 package file and that works!

Hi,
I use BDS2007. I have a C++ project in which I use WPTOOLS. I had the same problems : [Linker Error] Unresolved external '__fastcall
I found a solution by adding the file WPTools5_D11_W32.lib in the project. It's working fine with WPTOOLS5. I suppose it could be the same with WPTOOLS6.
By now I use WPTOOLS6 and BDS2009. I have no problem with my C++ project.
Hope I this can help you.
NB : in my C++ project before I have linker's errors, I had to modify some .h files. This is due at the automatic translation from pascal to C++.
JMD,
THat is what I finally wound up doing because all the WPTools 6 packages I got had one error after another.
I am hoping to move to C Builder 2010 sometime in early spring after I complete a product upgrade.
Best Regards,
Shane
