Installing Delphi components into C++ Builder 2009?

Hi All,

I'm trying to install a Delphi package into C++ Builder 2009.
I've read the stuff out there that says install into Delphi and get it to create the C++ files, unfortunately I don't have Delphi installed on my development box.
When I try and open the Delphi package, C++ Builder tells me that the Delphi Personality is not available and the project cannot be loaded.
Is there any way around this?

Thanks 

Trev

You could create a new C++Builder package project and add all .pas files from the Delphi package to it.

If you do not have the Delphi personality installed, then you will have to 
use the command-line dcc32.exe compiler instead.  All versions of C++Builder 
ship with it.

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.

Remy,

Is there a howto or something that I could use to help me do this?
I'm a bit rusty with CBuilder and this new version is a definite culture shock. My last version was version 4 and I haven't used that for a few years.

Thanks

Trevor

I'm running into the same error message while trying to load a D2009 project.

Up to now, I've only used C++.  But with CodeGear RAD Studio 2009 shouldn't I have access to both Delphi and C++ Builder?
Is there something I need to do to enable the Delphi.Personality?

Thanks.

   Make sure to use the RAD studio link instead of the C++Builder link 
in the start menu. (If the -p flag is set, BDS will only use the 
personality listed.)
