I have been trying to install SynEdit for the last two weeks but no luck. i downloaded its latest version, (I have Delphi XE2), extracted it, went to the packages folder, opened DelphiXE2.groupproj. Delphi IDE started, in the project manager, I right clicked SynEdit_RXE2.bpl and build it (succesful).
Then build SynEdit_DXE2.bpl but this time it gave error. This is it:
For this line:
{$IMPLICITBUILD ON}
It says
[DCC Fatal Error] SynEdit_RXE2.dpk(30): E2225 Never-build package 'designide' must be recompiled
And below this it says:
[DCC Fatal Error] SynEdit_DXE2.dpk(35): E2202 Required package 'SynEdit_RXE2' not found
Please tell me how to install it correctly.
Follow these instructions:
Packages\DelphiXE2.groupproj
.SynHighlighterJSON
to SynEdit_DXE2
. It is used by SynEdit_RXE2
and is, as I write this answer, missing from SynEdit_DXE2
.SynEdit_DXE2
.Since the project did not build without modifications, I suspect that the testing on older Delphi versions is not as comprehensive as it should be. However, I have just followed the steps above, and successfully installed the library.
