New Installed xp Pro  with Delphi2009 pro, when re-compiling dbsrvr, I get the following errors:

C:\Program Files\DBISAM VCL Client-Server with Source\Version 4\RAD Studio (Delphi) 2009\servers\dbsrvr\source\dbisamut.pas(899,99): warning
W1044: W1044 Suspicious typecast of string to PAnsiChar

W1050: W1050 WideChar reduced to byte char in set expressions.  Consider using 'CharInSet' function in 'SysUtils' unit.

C:\Program Files\DBISAM VCL Client-Server with Source\Version 4\RAD Studio (Delphi) 2009\servers\dbsrvr\source\dbisamut.pas(866,30): error E2251:
E2251 Ambiguous overloaded call to 'StrPas'
SysUtils.pas(8475,1): error E2251: Related method: function StrPas(const PAnsiChar): AnsiString;

Is there a fix for this.
  

Mike,

I'll see about getting support for recompiling the utilities and servers in
D2009 in the next build.

Hi Tim,

Similar error in Recompiling DBISAM4 utilities.

bdetran unit other Errors:

Class TDBISAMDriveComBox not found.

Class TDBISAMDirectoryListBox not found.

AND:

Recompiling EDB 2.02b14 utilities and servers errors:

[DCC Error] edbutilcomps.pas(3001): E2010 Incompatible types: 'Char' and 'AnsiChar'

Class TEDTaskPaneScrollBox not fount.

Class TEDBSyntaxMemo not found.



Thanks
Mike

Mike,

<< bdetran unit other Errors:

Those are due to not having the dbisamct.pas unit installed in a design-time
package.  We don't install these components automatically anymore because
customers kept insisting that they were supported components when they were
only included for use in recompiling the utilities.  Just install the
dbisamut.pas unit in the design-time package of your choosing, and then
you'll be able to access these components at design-time and recompile the
utilities that reference the dbisamut.pas unit.

Tim, it would be nice to have a package file prefilled to open and install to make
this easy. Having just upgraded, I have spent an hour trying to work out what all
this was caused by. It could then be put in the dbsys directory or something.

Thanks!

Heck, here's my version for someone else to pick up on. D2007.

package DBISAMExtraComponents;

{$R *.res}
{$ALIGN 8}
{$ASSERTIONS ON}
{$BOOLEVAL OFF}
{$DEBUGINFO OFF}
{$EXTENDEDSYNTAX ON}
{$IMPORTEDDATA ON}
{$IOCHECKS ON}
{$LOCALSYMBOLS ON}
{$LONGSTRINGS ON}
{$OPENSTRINGS ON}
{$OPTIMIZATION ON}
{$OVERFLOWCHECKS OFF}
{$RANGECHECKS OFF}
{$REFERENCEINFO ON}
{$SAFEDIVIDE OFF}
{$STACKFRAMES OFF}
{$TYPEDADDRESS OFF}
{$VARSTRINGCHECKS ON}
{$WRITEABLECONST OFF}
{$MINENUMSIZE 1}
{$IMAGEBASE $400000}
{$IMPLICITBUILD ON}

requires
 rtl,
 vclx,
 vcl,
 vcldb,
 dbrtl;

contains
 dbisamct in 'dbisamct.pas';

end.

I'll see what I can do.  I don't mind providing a package, as long as it is
not pre-installed, thus causing the same type of confusion about the usage
of the utility components.

That is not a problem. If I'd found one, I'd have understood. You could always
include a comment on the reason and how to make it work.

Thanks for the great support!
