Non-Windows FMX won't install on Community Edition
Closed this issue · 8 comments
[Moved here from main repo]
The Multi-Installer just throws up a dialog box saying there's no install directory when run
Installing via Delphi from project group compilation fails as the non-Windows targets try to compile source that includes the Windows unit
The result of this is that no down-stream projects (Python Environments, Lightweight wrappers, P4D Data Sciences can be installed on non-Wondows targets either).
I will stress that this is observed using Delphi 10 Sydney Community Edition so if you have a 'Real' Delphi on system this may result in different experiences.
Suggested replication - use a clean Windows install and Delphi Community Edition, easiest way to achieve this without spare kit is to use a VMWare Player with fresh install of Win10 + Delphi Community then this try to install this and dependant libraries.
If resolution is found very clear documentation would help (I'd write it myself if I could get the stuff to install)
Better but still not perfect
MacOSX now appears OK with one warning...
[dccosx64 Warning] python.dpk(24): W1002 Symbol 'IMAGEBASE' is specific to a platform
Android, however, fails at PythonFMX causing the inability to build the branch labelled libPythonFmx270.a as Python can't be found. I notice that the generated lib directory has Python.o which remains after a Clean implying something is half-installed (Python.dcu doesn't make it to lib).
The branch labelled libPython270.a builds perfectly
I will go and try the down-stream components for MacOSX to see if they build (seems likely now)
Is the Android dcp folder included in your path?
The IMAGEBASE warning is expected, though.
OK - That fixed things - needs to be mentioned in docs in case not present...
This is more Delphi related, but sure, it worth mentioning.
Let me know when we can close this issue 💪

We're in a Embarcadero repo so it seems quite important here (less so in Main I guess)
Anyway - all seems OK so closed
Yes, you're right. I will provide this info in the docs.
