Manual install of JCL/JVCL in Delphi 10.1 Berlin

7.3k Views Asked by At

I haven't upgraded Delphi since 2007. I have an evaluation copy of 10.1 Berlin installed, good for another 15 days. I want to see how difficult it will be to update a project I have to 10.1 before buying.

I've heard that in 10.0 Seattle, you could install the JCL/JVCL via GetIt. Doesn't seem to be available yet for 10.1. Its not even available as an official release of JCL/JVCL for 10.1. But, it does seem that the current daily builds do support 10.1. Problem is, I only have the evaluation copy which doesn't allow command line compiling. I thought I should be able to do a manual install though.

I seemed to have manually installed a recent daily build of JCL. However, when I try to do a manual build of JVCL, it get an error "required package 'jcl' not found". But, the JCL240.BPL is built and installed and in the folder that it is supposed to be in. Specifically, I was trying to build JvCore240.bpl when I get that error.

What might be wrong? Will I just have to wait until it is available on GetIt? And if so, any guesses when that might be?
