JVCL3_50 and Delphi 12 CE

[caveflyer]

I've just restarted using Delphi after many years away, but I'm retired, on a limited income and so the Delphi 12 Community Edition is all I can afford. I wanted to use JVCL with it, but since I don't have dcc32 available to me, I've tried to download and install it "manually." JCL builds fine. But JVCL gets stuck because the Main has a reference {$I jvcl.inc} and that inc file references {$I jedi\jedi.inc}... and the jedi folder no longer exists, so it bombs out pretty quick.

I'm going to try an older JVCL version to see if I can get it to work, but I thought y'all might want to know that the latest JVCL3_50 isn't playing well with Delphi 12 CE. (If anyone knows the lastest version of JVCL that will work with Delphi 12 CE, please let me know... thx.)

Hello,

jedi\jedi.inc is found in the JCL include folder. If it can't be found when building the JVCL packages manually, it means that the JCL is not fully installed, in that its search folders are not added to the IDE search path. Here are the two minimum ones for Delphi 12:

(just need to prefix with the full path where you placed the JCL sources)

Hope this helps

Hello, I am exactly in the same position. Delphi Community edition has no compiler, thus I cannot install JVCL automatically, right? As far as JCL. So I am trying to install it manually. Is it right way?

I've opened D29 Packages.grouppoj and tried to Install the first bpl (JvCoreDesing290.bpl)
And Delphi says:
[dcc32 Fatal Error] JVCL.INC(26): F1026 File not found: 'jedi\jedi.inc'

on string 26: {$I jedi\jedi.inc}

I've added Library paths from above and even more...

...and jedi.inc is passed now, but another issues occurred:
[dcc32 Fatal Error] JclVcl.dpk(37): E2225 Never-build package 'Jcl' must be recompiled

And maybe there is some another way to install all the packages at once?

Thanks.
