HowTo: Building MediaPortal with Borland C#Builder Personal (1 Viewer)

... and have a solution

In WindowPlugins.dll prject open home and SetupForm.cs. You must edit code directly instead of designing window and change only one variable resource into something else resource_ for example. There is only declaration of it in line 103 and using in line 164.

I think that's it.

Thx wozio: it worked. But don't ask me how...
1. I changed the variable resources to something else. Still errors.
2. I located the 2 other occurrences of ´resources´ and changed those as well. Still errors but 3 less.
3. I did a rollback of all the changes, and now it compiles fine, with the original sources :?
Well, if it works...

Hi,

Some kind of magic I see ;-)

Do not forget to copy all needed by MP directories, without them it will be exception or blank screen...

Look into log to check what wasn't found.

Has Borland C#Builder gone from their website. I can't seem to find it anymore. Can someone verify that it's still available and post a link,

I purchased my copy in a local software store in Holland, so I wouldn't know if Borland still sells the product via it's website.
However after some digging I found the following: http://shop.borland.co.uk/csharpbuilder.asp
Apparently the C# product still exists as a separate package.

Here it is:

http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_csharpbuilder.html

but I had to use google to find it, there is no such product on borland products page :?

I did the same thing.
Maybe Borland doesn't want us to find the product details

I got the latest CVS code and was starting to go through the list of project to import and compile, but the very first one gave me a proble. Where is the project file. I can only find *.cs files in the directory.

Hi,

Don't use method described at the beggining of this thread, it is old.

Just import all csproj files into jour project group in C#B and try to build them one after another. You have to figure out proper order, first one is core as far as I remember

I added all the project files to a new project group as suggested. But when I came to add the final mediaportal project file I got this error:

Visual Studio Conversion Tool
Using transform document: D:\Program Files\Borland\BDS\1.0\Bin\VSImport.xsl
Input file: D:\MediaPortal\mediaportal\mediaportal\xbmc\MediaPortal.csproj
Output file: D:\MediaPortal\mediaportal\mediaportal\xbmc\MediaPortal.bdsproj
Destination Document Error: Required white space was missing.

Line: 408
PostBuildEvent=""$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)


Any idea what might be causing this ?
