0005088: I incorporated the JvErrorIndicator into my project. Now I have to include JvCore and Jcl run-time packages - Project JEDI

Notes
(0017062) outchy (administrator) 2010-01-02 21:27	The JCL uses LIBSUFFIX.

(0017063) LarryHengen (reporter) 2010-01-02 21:44	I guess then, the question is what is the suffix used? Why is it that the JVCL packages contain a Delphi specific suffix? It defeats the whole purpose as Marco put it here: http://etutorials.org/Programming/mastering+delphi+7/Part+II+Delphi+Object-Oriented+Architectures/Chapter+10+Libraries+and+Packages/Advanced+Features+of+Delphi+DLLs/ [^] "Delphi 6 packages introduced the extensive use of the $LIBSUFFIX directive. For this reason, the VCL package now generates the VCL.DCP file and the VCL70.BPL file. The advantage of this approach is that you won't need to change the requires portions of your packages for every new version of Delphi."

(0017064) AHUser (developer) 2010-01-03 14:51	Maybe a possible reason: The JVCL supported Delphi 5 till some months ago. And Delphi 5 didn't have the $LIBSUFFIX compiler option.

(0017065) outchy (administrator) 2010-01-03 17:33	The JCL has supported C5/D5 for the same period while it has been using the LIBSUFFIX for all other targets at the same time. I really don't know why the JVCL is stuck to the old manual package suffix. Anyway, that's a must fix. About the other requests of the initial report, I think all of them are "as designed".
