Building Codex from source
Supported Delphi versions
Codex should compile in at least Delphi 12 and Delphi 11.x, however it may compile in earlier versions.
Building
Clone the Codex repo, and each of the dependencies:
The Codex project search paths make use of User System Overrides (These can be set up in the IDE options Tools | Options, IDE > Environment Variables), which point to the folders of the respective dependencies. Either create matching overrides in your IDE, or update the project search paths in the Codex project so that the compiler finds them.
Build from the Codex project (Codex.dproj), for the Windows 32-bit target.
