Re: [DUG]: Modulizing Apps. with Packages

Title: Message

Hi Jeremy   After selecting "compile with runtime packages," just delete everything in the list, except the packages you actually want to use. In other words, only those listed will used as "runtime packages" and will need to be supplied with your EXE. The rest (eg the VCL, quick reports, whatever) will still be compiled into your EXE as before (ie statically linked). Make sense?   Cheers, Todd. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Coulter To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 5:02 PM Subject: [DUG]: Modulizing Apps. with Packages Hi all. Yeah I know, its sad to be having a day off, but still thinking about work :-)   Anyway, I have finally got a project where I will or want to use packages to modulize the app. I have already developed the first part based on an article in the Delphi Informant Mag. The only thing I am kinda confused about is, to get the app. that looks for and loads the packages at runtime, I have to set the "Compile with Runtime Support", or whatever its called, switch in the project settings. This means that I need to now supply the 6mb VCL packages and what ever else I use, like ADO, etc. This is not going to be any good for this project as it has to go to over 100 places.   SO, can I do the above slightly differently so I can just distribute the EXE without have to also send out the runtime BPL's too? Or am I better to use some 3rd party plugin tool?   Cheers,   Jeremy Coulter     ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All email scanned with Nortons Antivurus 2002 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
