Neven,
Not impossible, but not trivial. Consider these issues:
1. If you recreate vcl30.dpl, you will need to create a separate version
for runtime because the design time packages depend on vcl30.dpl and you
don't have the source to recompile them.
2. You will *most probably* have to recompile all 3rd party components that
rely on Classes.pas (which ones don't?) This is because the unit interface
has changed.
3. When a new version of Delphi appears, you will have to recompile
everything all over again.
I have done it a few times (to fix VCL bugs mainly), but I will definitely
look at all other options before embarking on compiling the VCL - especially
if it involves a change to a unit's interface.
As an aside, if the interface is not changed, you can create a copy of the
unit, modify it, and include it with your project. The linker will use the
included one instead of the one in the VCL. Be careful if you use run-time
packages though - your packages will always use the packaged version.
Regards,
Dennis.
