Dependencies

GetIt Packages

need to install via "Tools/GetIt Package Manager" in Delphi IDE:

Boss Packages

need to install via Boss Package Manager's update command (and/or you can use Boss Experts from GetIt to see a UI for it in the IDE). There's also a batch file that you can run

see boss.json

Notes:

  • at Build/Compiler/Search path/All configurations - All platforms, using relative search paths to respective Boss cache folders (see App/modules folder)
  • will need to manually install the BOSS packages (see modules subfolder that it creates) if BOSS doesn't install them as design packages

Build

open the READCOM.groupproj and right-click / build the project

from modules folder that BOSS update command generates you need to open and install the respective projects (where Install option is shown on right-click menu by Delphi that package is a design-time one) if you want to be able to edit any of the UI in the Delphi IDE designer
