* This packages need to be fixed to compile.

After a Delphi update or a component library update, can be necessary to rebuild all the packages. Uninstall them and then install them in the same order.

You must install the packages in the correct order.

In Delphi IDE select Open option of file menu, then select .dpk package files, click the install button.

If you alter rpconf.inc, you can remove the dependeces of the disabled options, for example if you disable ADO support you can remove adortl dependence.

To compile your projetcs must add the report manager components directory to the library path.

If you compile with runtime packages you must include the .bpl files generated with your application (just like other Borland packages)

Report Manager is divided in packages because you can use it in different scenarios, for example for a console application you only need rppack.dpk, for Visual CLX applications you need rppackv.dpk, if you want to include the designer linked into your application you need rppackdesign.dpk.

If you have problems see compiling options.
