Deployment of native Delphi/Kylix/Builder and ActiveX
Console applications (not VisualCLX) and VCL Windows applications
Windows Linux
  • You must deploy database drivers you use, if you use IBX, IBO, or something native, none
  • You can deploy the translated resourcestrings, reportmanres.* so the engine will select the correct user language
  • dbxconnections.ini is used by the engine to read connections configurations for DBX,IBX, IBO..., to obtain the file the engine will search at registry \Software\Borland\DBExpress the value 'Connection Registry File', first will search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE if not found, will search HKEY_CURRENT_USER, if not found will search in the application directory for that file.
  • If you use BDE driver you must deploy the entire BDE with the sqllinks dlls you use.
  • If you use DBExpress you can include the following units in your project to disable the need of dlls.
    Unit Dll
    dbExpInt dbexpint.dll
    dbExpOra dbexpora.dll
    dbExpDb2 dbexpdb2.dll
    dbExpMySQL dbexpmysql.dll
  • You must deploy midas.dll or include midaslib unit in your project.
  • Distribute the .manifest file of the executables so they will look with the XP theme
  • You must deploy libmidas.so.1 because Report Manager uses ClientDataset components when accessing to databases
  • You can deploy the translated resourcestrings, reportmanres.* so the engine will select the correct user language
  • Usually you need dbxconnections and dbxdrivers in /home/user/.borland
  • You must deploy database drivers you use, if you use IBX, IBO, or something native, none.
  • You have two options in Linux to deploy the libraries, copy the libs into the application dir or copy the libs in /usr/lib or some common path. If you copy the libs in app path you must modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable allways you start the application (see repmand.sh file)
Visual CLX applications (in addition of previous files)
Windows Linux
qtintf70.dll (Delphi 7) or qtintf.dll (Delphi 6) libborqtintf-6.9-qt2.3.so (Kylix3) or libqt.so.2 and libqtintf.so.2 (Kylix 2)
Note: If you use VCL only components in a VCL Application you don't need qtintf*.dll

libborqt.so.2

This are qt runtime files provided by Borland since Kylix 3, if you use a earlier version of Kylix you should use the older ones.
ActiveX controls applications
Windows
Reportman.ocx
You can distribute reportmanres.* to show the Preview and Print dialogs in the language locale of the user.
Note: You must register it with regsvr32 as any other ActiveX component, usually installation applications like Install Shield do it when you include the file in you installation project
