How to build the source

A build script is included in the download for each sub project. Each script supports several build options.

The Delphi 7 command line compiler is required to build the main Pascal source code. Doing this will require that all the additional code specified in the above is available.

To build other binaries the following tools are required:

VIEd – DelphiDabbler Version Information Editor. Used to compile various .res files from .vi files. There is one of these files per sub-project – they all begin with "V". BRCC32 is also required to compile these files (see below).
BRCC32 – Borland Resource Compiler, supplied with Delphi 7. Used to build *.res files from *.rc files. Also used to compile intermediate files created by Version Information Editor.
HCRTF – Microsoft Help Compiler, supplied with Delphi 7. Used to build help files from .hpj and associated .rtf files.
ISC – Inno Setup 5 command line compiler, which must include the ISPP v5 preprocessor, supplied with Inno Setup. Used to create the install program from FileVer.iss.

For full details of how to compile the source code please see ReadMe-Src.txt included in the main source download.
