JCL/JVCL and 10.1 Berlin Installation Issues

GitHub Files worked fine - thanks for updating them! (JCL 2.8 Testing Build 5677 / JVCL 3.50)

Just a note: You can get a free C++ Compiler (command line version) from Embaradero at embarcadero.com/de/free-tools/ccompiler! So before editing the Registry...

Just make sure that you add the path to the /bin folder with the compiler to your PATH (Windows).

After adding jedi.inc from GitHub into the ...jcl\jcl\source\include\jedi\ folder I could compile the JCL compiler and run it using the batch file. JVCL followed.

Best regards,
Klaus

I downloaded jcl-2.8.0.6209.7z, tried to run the install.bat, and what I get is the following:

      ===================================================================
      Compiling JediIncCheck...
      Using Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.1

      This version of the product does not support command line compiling.

      An error occured while compiling the installer. Installation aborted.

      Press any key to continue . . .

::is it a normal behavior?

Have you tried this JEDI 10.1 Berlin here: http://sf.jcl.delphi-jedi.org/daily/ and then install https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl

I just installed into my Delphi 10.1 Berlin Update 2 with no problems:

Phew. What a struggle?

I had the same errormessage but this time from the JCL installation.

"BCC32.exe not found error"

I don't have the Borland C compiler as the message implies - so why am i getting this error???

Here is a link that helped med. I had to delete a setting from registry. See this page:
http://issuetracker.delphi-jedi.org/view.php?id=6513

After that no errormessage and successfull install :-)
Then I installed JVCL from

https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl

No everything is working :-)

I have just installed JVCL on D 10.1 Berlin Update 2 without problem.  It is important to get the latest code,

http://sf.jcl.delphi-jedi.org/daily/

then install

https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl

As Borja says, the Sourceforde SVN code is old

Berlin 10.1 installers are available for both JVC and JVCL on codecentral.embarcadero.com  Both installed in my system without a problem. They are in the Delphi / Binaries section.

Hope this helps

Found the fix for JVCL not installing when bat file run with error dcc32ex.exe not found.

You have to go and compile the dcc32ex.dproj project file located in

C:\Location Of JVCL\jvcl\jvcl\packages\bin with Delphi Berlin10.1.x

You will now have the dcc32ex.exe file in same directory as packages.

Once this is done the Batch file install.bat in /jvcl/jvcl  will work.

Never had to do this in the past. Not sure if error or lack of instructions to do this when installing maybe cause they did not have latest Berlin when Jedi was built.

I am still working through setting up my Delphi Berlin 10.1.1 with bonus pack that I can not get keys for the Raise components or see Berlin downloads in MyUserRegisteredDownloads they were there on 30th Sept but disappeared on 1st Oct have opened a support ticket.

I'm with you Norbert, I'd really like to see such a complete tool set listed under GetIt.

I was convinced it was in GetIt, but just went and looked and it isn't :-(  Are there plans to release a GetIt version?  what would be involved?

I got the JCL to install after downloading JEDI.inc and putting it in the jcl\source\jedi\jedi.inc folder, but the JVCL installer won't compile.

Looking at line 29...

{$IFNDEF JEDI_INC}

ALERT_jedi_inc_incompatible

// secure against old versions of jedi.inc.

{$ENDIF !JEDI_INC}

So, do I need to include the jedi.inc file in the JVCL folder as well? Where exactly?

thanks...

Hi all,

I finally got it running. The file jedi.inc must be in the path

...\jedi\jcl\jcl\source\jedi\jedi.inc

Then start install.bat as administrator. To avoid the "brcc32.exe not found" error uncheck all following checkboxes in the installation GUI:

"Add JCL to C++ include path"

"Copy HPP files to configured HPP directory"

'Check HPP files"

Now the JCL can be installed. After that installation of the JVCL is running fine also.

Hi,

I downloaded the latest versions from Github but encountered still the same errors as Mike. Is there a Getit-package for JCL/JVCL and Berlin 10.1 on its way? I think it would be very welcome around the Delphi community. or is there an other way to get it installed?

Thanks

Norbert

You have to download it from github:

https://github.com/project-jedi/jvcl/tree/master/jvcl

Sourceforge build is outdated.
