Converting from Borland C++ Builder 6 to XE5
I tested several applications developped under Borland C++ Builder 6 and all "normal" projects using forms and units compiled nicely under XE5 with a small problem that some labels or buttons seem to look slightly different. However, the few console applications I had did not compile at all. I got many "unresolved external ...." in connection with AnsiStrings. I used AnsiStrings also in the projects mentioned first, so I am sure it is a simple include-statement which I am missing in the console applicatio ns and which is different to BCB6. Any hint?

Linker errors are not caused by missing include statements. They are caused by missing library references in the project itself. Your projects are likely not linking to the RTL/VCL packages. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

About 20 messages like this: [ilink32 Error] Error: Nicht auflösbares externes 'System::__linkproc__ __fastcall LStrCat(System::AnsiStringT<0>&, const System::AnsiStringT<0>)' referenziert von C:\PROGRAM FILES\EMBARCADERO\RAD STUDIO\12.0\LIB\WIN32\RELEASE\VCLE.LIB|System_t_win32 Not resolvable external system Maybe just a small change in the settings, but where? Many thanks, Peter

Did you double-check all of the Font properties? Did you check the ParentColor and ParentFont properties? > [ilink32 Error] Error: Nicht auflösbares externes > 'System::__linkproc__ __fastcall LStrCat(System::AnsiStringT<0>&, > const System::AnsiStringT<0>)' referenziert von C:\PROGRAM > FILES\EMBARCADERO\RAD > STUDIO\12.0\LIB\WIN32\RELEASE\VCLE.LIB|System_t_win32 Your project is likely not linking to the vcle library. Did you open your BCB6 project into the XE5 IDE and let it upgrade the project, or did you create a new VCL project fresh and then add your existing source files to it? If you upgraded an existing project, don't. It rarely ever works correctly. Always create a new project instead. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

I tested many projects in the meantime and it seems that all projects where I draw the labels from the components work fine whereas the projects where I create the labels from the program with *new* have probably different property defaults. I think when I go through these programs I will have to set the properties which previously had some default. Should be no problem. > Your project is likely not linking to the vcle library.

Overall I have to say that converting around 20 projects from an over ten year old Borland BCB6 to XE5 was really easy, and your help was of course making it even easier. Many thanks!

Convert to C++ Builder XE from C++ Builder 6 and 2007

problem of converting from C++ Builder 6 to C++ Builder 2007
Hi, A program which was developed by our partner was built fine with C++ Builder 6. Now I need to make some changes to it. We bought C++ Builder 2007 a few weeks ago.

Making C++ Builder 6 and XE5 co-exist ?
Hello, here's my problem: I had working projects under C++ Builder 6, and tried C++ Builder XE5 (trial version). My old projects stopped compiling under Builder 6, because XE5 had changed important header files used by my projects. It even introduced new header files that changed type definitions, making my projects uncompilable (under 6). I had to uninstall everything (including builder 6), and start over again to get my projects to compile properly. Now, is there a way to install XE5 without changing anything in version 6 ? (allowing me the possibility to port my projects to...
Borland C++ Builder 6, IMAPI2 and DDiscFormat2DataEvents problems
Hi all, I'm trying to code a simple CD burner application using IMAPI2 with Borland C++ Builder 6. I added imapi2.h, imapi2error.h, imapi2.idl, imapi2fs.h, imapi2fserror.h and imapi2fs.idl. The application seems to work fine, but now I would like to add the events sink to receive informations about the progress.

Borland C++ Builder 6.0 SSL/HTTPS question
Hi Not sure which forum to really post this in. I am using BCPPB6 to maintain some legacy projects. One of these needs to GET data from a https URL. I found that the TNMHTTP comnponent that I have used for standard http GET operations in the past does not support https. However the Indy TIdHTTP component apparantly does. With some trial and error I have found that it needs an Intercept component (TIdConnectionInterceptOpenSSL) and needs InterceptEnabled set to true.
