CBuilder XE8 install issue

[mikecollins999]

Hay Guys (Roman).

Great work on porting lockbox to XE8 - I've been desperately awaiting its return.

I'm struggling to install into C++Builder XE8. I have unpacked the components into $(BCB)\Components\LockBox3. The install notes mention adding in the path to the hpp folder into the C++ System Include paths which I have done ($(BCB)\Components\LockBox3\hpp). it wasn't clear if, for C++Builder you also had to add in the \lockBox3\run path also (I haven't).

I open up the design and run-time CBuilder packages and try to install the design-time package - it fails reporting:

[ilink32 Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'LOCKBOX3CR.BPI'

I try to compile also and I get the same message. I have searched the lockbox3 folders and there is no sign of the .bpi file although it is listed in the Requires branch in the IDE.

Also, out of interest, do I need to add the path to the \hpp to all of the profiles (Win32, 64, iOS, Android etc in order to use lockbox on all these platforms.

Many thanks

Mike

After you compile the runtime package you should be able to find the file LockBox3CR.bpi in the folder

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\16.0\DCP\

Can you find it there?

Hi Roman,

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't realise that you had to compile run-time libraries first.

I have managed to compile and install the libraries but when I add the components to a new CBuilder XE8 VCL application and compile I get the following compile error:

[bcc32 Error] uTPLb_CryptographicLibrary.hpp(174): E2370 Simple type name expected

relating to line 174 in uTPLb_CryptographicLibrary.hpp:

__property TOnGenerateKeyFunc OnCustomCipherGenerateKey = {read=FOnGenerateKeyFunc, write=FOnGenerateKeyFunc};

I have attached the compile output.

There are a couple of other things that I am confused about (sorry if my questions are basic but I'm sure others might be struggling with the same thing and if I can clarify them, maybe I can help others. I would also like to try and help to drive the documentation of LockBox forward as they are brilliant but often overlooked components):

1) When setting the system include paths (for BCB), is the path to the HPP folder the ONLY one that needs to be set?

2) Does this need to be set for all platforms i.e. iOS, Android, Win32, Win64?

3) When installing the run-time and design-time packages, do the run-time packages need to be built / compiled for each platform that you want to deploy them onto or is it sufficient to only build them for Win32 (I know this might seem obvious but it isn't clear to me).

4) In following with this, is it necessary to compile the run-time and design-time packages in debug & release mode?

5) Finally - is there any documentation, help files, videos etc to get started? LockBox 3 is very different to LockBox 2 and I'm struggling a bit to get my head around how to use the components. The About mentions http://lockbox.seanbdurkin.id.au/LB3Help_Home but the link doesn't work.

I'm by no means an expert in anything but I would be more than happy to try and add to this project in terms of documentation or re-wording the readme to make it clearer to us layman :-)

Many thanks in advance and best regards

Mike Collins

After so much time I will close the issue.
