KitCAD2.exe
GNU C++ files needed to be re-build to the
current Edition, KitCAD 2 ONLY.
The files in GNU-KitCAD.zip were used to create the KitCAD
programs with the BCB C++ 4.0 software compiler. The
information here is a guide for novice users to KitCAD and BCB
only. In no way is this a guide for programming KitCAD in any
form.
Some files were not exported in the original zip files, or may
be reported as missing when loaded. This page contains
information for allowing BCB users to access the component
level of the KitCAD software.
The following files are not supplied and may be need to be
re-compiled:
DCLUSR40.BPI
KP.BPI
KGRAPHICCONTROL.DCR
DCLUSR40.BPL
To create these files a user needs to perform the procedure
below...
Open Bcb, Select Component
Install Component | and enter the following under Unit file
name:
c:\kitchen\_kitcads\KGraphicControl.cpp
Package file name:
c:\program files\borland\cbuilder4\Lib\dclusr40.bpk
if you are prompted for the DCR file you have an older version
of the c++ build files for KitCAD. The DCR file contains an
Icon only, and by default C Builder will create a new icon when
re-built.
Find and Remark the DCR line from KGraphicControl.cpp as
follows:
#pragma resource "*.dcr"
to:
//remarked line #pragma resource "*.dcr"
Save, Press the Compile button, and then the Install
button. A dialog will be displayed about time and date
change. Ok if prompted.
Save Changes, and Exit Bcb - and restart again.
The new tab will be displayed at the end of the components
list.
The new tab name is KitchenPages, with the component
within.
Next Copy the following file/s:
c:\Program
Files\Borland\CBuilder4\Projects\Lib\dclusr40.bpi
to:
c:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder4\Projects\Lib\kp.bpi
c:\Program
Files\Borland\CBuilder4\Projects\Bpl\dclusr40.bpl
to:
c:\kitchen\_kitcads\dclusr40.bpl
Once this procedure is completed (or convert from a type lib)
the user may continue and compile the rest of the KitCAD 2
program or any KitCAD Ocx version. Also the missing file
error will be fixed.
If dclusr40.bpl isn't compiled with the exe/ocx in
design-time the system will ask for the file when in
run-time.
The exe files can then be build via the bpr or
bpk extensions. KitCAD Version 1.9x, and programs do not
require a re-build. The ocx files can be build but require a
more complex procedure to install a working copy. Users can if
skilled enough attempt to add the ocx active x controls and
programs as desired.
A OpenGL example is included in the C++ code of KitCAD.
