WARNING !!!
This file contains detailed info about the first option to install
InstantObjects, as per the Readme1st.txt file in the root of the
project.
If you inadvertently skipped reading it, it should be a good thing
to do it now, before going on, in order to evaluate also the
second alternative.
There you will find other valuable information about the project.
INSTALLATION
------------
1. Unpack zip file to <installdir>
2. Add the following folders to your development environment's library path:
<installdir>/Source/Core
<installdir>/Source/Brokers/<brokername>
Add a line for each broker you plan to use.
If you are going to use a broker that needs a separate catalog
(currently the IBX, UIB, DBX and ADO brokers), then
you'll also need to add a line for each required catalog:
<installdir>/Source/Catalogs/<catalogname>
Here is a table of current broker-catalog dependencies:
Broker Depends on Catalog
--------------------------------------
IBX IBFb
UIB IBFb
DBX IBFb, MSSql
ADO MSSql
Other brokers have their catalogs integrated into themselves,
so there are not dependency issues for them.
3. Build and install the InstantObjects core packages:
<installdir>/Source/Core/<version>/IOCore.dpk (build)
<installdir>/Source/Design/<version>/DclIOCore.dpk (install)
Where <version> identifies your version of Delphi, Kylix or
FPC. Examples: D5, D6, D7, K3, D2005, D2006, etc.
4. Build and install the desired catalog and broker package(s):
For example, if you need the ADO broker:
<installdir>/Source/Catalogs/MSSql/<version>/IOMSSqlCatalog.dpk (build)
<installdir>/Source/Brokers/ADO/<version>/IOADO.dpk (build)
<installdir>/Source/Brokers/ADO/<version>/DclIOADO.dpk (install)
If you need a broker that doesn't depend on a catalog, just build and
install the broker's packages. Here's an example for the XML broker:
<installdir>/Source/Brokers/XML/<version>/IOXML.dpk (build)
<installdir>/Source/Brokers/XML/<version>/DclIOXML.dpk (install)
Please note that not all brokers are available in all versions
of Delphi/Kylix/FPC. If you think you can make a supplied broker
work in an unsupported version, or create a new broker from scratch
then please contact us.
Note for Delphi 5 users: dpk files in Delphi 5 have an additional
suffix "_D5". This is because Delphi 5 does not support the LIBSUFFIX
compiler directive that InstantObjects uses in newer versions of
Delphi.
********************************************************************************
Note: All InstantObjects packages use non-standard code in the package
source file. In particular, they miss the standard line:
{$R *.RES}
and have instead something similar to this line:
{$I '../../InstantVersion.inc'}
that includes the InstantVersion.inc file in the $(InstantObjects)\Source
folder (Substitute the correct relative path in this statement depending on
where in the installed folder tree the package file resides). However if you
open the Project Options for a package and click the OK button, the Delphi IDE
will restore the line with the $R directive, automatically create a
<packagename>.res file that IO doesn't need and delete the $I
directive. If you ever do that, please restore the original code by editing
the Project Source by hand or restoring the original file from the distribution
archive.
