I want install TurboPower Abbrevia 3.05 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpabbrevia/ but its not working. :(
docu says:
_4. Open & compile the runtime package specific to the IDE being used (e.g. B305vr2007.dpk for Delphi2007)
Start C++Builder2009 -> "Open Project..", select "B305vr2009.dpk" and click "open", but nothing happen. What is my mistake?
On
It's nice to see that someone is finally working on Abbrevia again, but looking at the Abbrevia web site I see that it still doesn't support modern versions of C++Builder. A few years ago I need to create Zips in an application and I found out that Abbrevia wouldn't work for me anymore. So, I compiled and linked in the Zip library from Info-ZIP, which worked very well. I didn't have much trouble adapting it to C++Builder as I recall, and it's still working fine today.
Info-ZIP's library only works with Zip files (no 7zip, etc.) but that's all we need here.
If you don't have RAD Studio, and only have C++Builder, you'll have to build it via the command line:
You can then import the .bpl file generated from the Component->Import Component menu.
