Distribution of Rave runtime packages for Delphi and C++Builder

Category

Rave - General

Question

When do the runtime packages for Rave need to be distributed along with my Delphi or C++Builder application?

Solution

This is really just a question of whether or not you are compiling your application with packages. This setting can be viewed on the "Build with runtime packages" checkbox which can be found at Project | Options | Packages. If the project is being built with runtime packages you should have the Rave packages added as well. Here are some examples:

Delphi 5.0, Rave 4.0 - add RPRT40D5 and RPRV40D5
Delphi 4.0, ReportPrinter Pro 3.0 - add RPRT30D4 and RPRV30D4

There are other packages included with Rave but these are not needed for distribution unless you are distributing the Rave end user visual designer. See Tutorial 28 in the Rave Borland Integration Guide for more information.
