Real misery here which I suspect is from trying to use FastReports - MyDac components with the constrained Embarcadero version of FastReports. Has anyone had success using it with Fastreports Basic or Standard. Would like to know before forking over money to them.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Using Rad Studio XE3 Professional (Update 2), mydac76d17pro and an embedded instance.
Cheers,
MyDac and FastReports Versions

Re: MyDac and FastReports Versions
Update: have demo working ( was using embedded server so couldn't go with samples) and found no issue from a Delphi project. However when using frxMYDACCComponents in a C++ project, the linker is looking for
frxMyDAC17.lib
frxDAC17.lib
however I'm only finding the bpl equivalents. Did I miss an option in compiling the Fast Reports - MyDac Components?

Re: MyDac and FastReports Versions
Hello.
To install TfrxMYDACCComponents to RAD Studio XE3 (both C++ Builder and Delphi), perform the following steps.
1) Run Delphi XE3 .
2) for each package: frxDAC17.dpk, frxMyDAC17.dpk, dclfrxMyDAC17.dpk, do the following:
- open package ;
- modify the setting [Project]->[Options...]->[Delphi Compiler]->[Output - C/C++]->[C/C++ Output file generation] by selecting the "Generate all C++Builder files (including packages libs)" option
- rebuild package.
3) Install the dclfrxMyDAC17.dpk package.
4) To work in Delphi, in the IDE settings add the path to the TfrxMYDACComponents component sources (they are located in MyDAC_Demos\ThirdParty\FastReport\FR4)
After these actions, RAD Studio XE3 will create necessary bpl,dcp,lib,hpp files and locate them in appropriate directories (usually, these directories are located in $(BDSCOMMONDIR)). Make sure paths to lib and hpp files are added to "Library Path" and "Include path" in [Tools]->[Options...]->[Enveironment Options]->[C++ Options]->[Paths and Directories] .
