Installation of GLScene into RAD Studio Delphi

The Instruction for installing GLScene library into Embarcadero RAD Studio to work with Delphi & C++Builder includes the next steps:

1. Download the last release of GLScene for VCL

From the page http://sourceforge.net/projects/glscene/files/ as archive file.
Select trunk->GLScene and get snapshot
From current SVN version of GLScene from the URL of repository https://svn.code.sf.net/p/glscene/code/trunk/.

NOTICE : Make a copy of the trunk in a separate directory, e.g. in the working directory ../GLScene, to prevent original source codes from occasional changes.

2. Copy auxiliary dynamic libraries

Run setup.bat in ..\GLScene\external directory as administrator to copy auxiliary dynamic libraries into C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directories
... to support 3D sounds, shaders and physics (BASS, FMOD, OpenAL, SDL, CG, ODE, Newton). Otherwise you will need to have ones for every application directory with exe file that calls an appropriate dll.

3. Install Components

Create Environment variables

If you are installing GLScene in RAD Studio for the first time it’s necessary to create a new environmental variable GLSCENEDIR as shown in the next screenshot:

Launch Delphi IDE

Open and Compile Packages GLScene.groupproj

Open Compile and Install Package GLScene_Designtime

NOTICE :* If you want using SDL Library. Compile package GLSceneSDL *

Normally you'll can open or create new GLScene projects
