Delphi Starter XE2: Installing JCL

Because the installer for JCL uses dcc32 , you can’t install it into Delphi Starter XE2. This just means that you need to install the packages manually from the IDE.
The following is a brief outline of the steps to install the latest JCL in Delphi Starter XE2:
  • Downloaded JCL for XE2: http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/28416
  • Extracted to $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl
  • I updated to the latest SVN version from:  https://jcl.svn.sourceforge.net:443/svnroot/jcl/trunk/jcl
  • Open up $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\packages\JclPackagesD160.groupproj in the Delphi IDE
  • In Project Manager, compile all packages
  • For each Design Time package, right click and “Install”
  • Under Tools -> Options -> Environment Options -> Delphi Options -> Library add the following directories to the Browsing path:
    •  $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\common
    •  $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\windows
    •  $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\vcl
  • Under Tools -> Options -> Environment Options -> Delphi Options -> Library add the following directories to the Library path:
    • $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\common
    • $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\windows
    • $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\source\include
  • Under Tools -> Options -> Environment Options -> Delphi Options -> Library add the following directories to the Debug DCUs path:
    • $(COMPONENTBASE)\jcl\lib\d16\win32\debug
