Summary: Can't build/install DPK files in Delphi 7. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.16 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jeff@storago.com
When I am running Delphi 7 Professional under Wine 1.1.16, and I try to compile and install a .dpk (Package) file, Compile says "[Fatal Error] Could not create output file '(path_name_here)\Whatever.bpl'" although upon inspection a .bpl file has been created.
If I try to go to "Component -> Install Packages" and check the box next to the package, Delphi says "Can't load package (path_name_here)\Whatever.bpl. Module not found." and won't actually let me activate it.
If I delete out the files that have been compiled and try, it seemed possible at first to get a single package to install, but once I saved my project and re-open it later, it says it can't find it. Any project that requires more than one dpk file to be installed is therefore completely unable to be compiled because of this.
It feels to me as though Delphi is failing on some sort of file_exists() check which aught to be very simple. I've checked all file permissions and even tried reconfiguring the BPL library paths to use folders without spaces i.e. "C:\Bpl" instead of "C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 7\Projects\Bpl" I'm quite familiar with Delphi's package system and can install packages without a problem on a similar Windows machine or virtual machine, this problem seems exclusive to wine.
