BROKER-DEPENDENT COMPONENTS:
The following comments apply only to those developing applications with
the BDK (programmer workstation software). They are not relevant to
server operation.
Warning:
Delphi 5 development.
Some components, such as the FileMan Delphi Components, reference the
TRPCBroker component. If you use such components for development, be
aware that installing a new version of the TRPCBroker component (i.e. a
new BDK) may cause incompatibilities in Delphi, resulting in a compile
failure of the unit containing the Broker-dependent component and the
following compilation error:
Unit <unit1> was compiled with a different version of <unit2>.
Check with the creators of the Broker-dependent component to make sure
that, with regards to the version of the BDK you are about to install:
a) Your current component is compatible, or
b) You can obtain a new version of the component that is compatible.
c) You have the source (.pas, .dfm, .dpk, etc.) files available so that
the component can be recompiled successfully.
If you're using the FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC), please note that the
IMPORTANT NOTES:
FMDC source code includes references to RPC Broker Development Kit (BDK)
code. When you install a new version of the BDK, you will need to
recompile the FMDC.
As of patch FMDC*1.0*1, source code for FMDC is provided, allowing you
to recompile FMDC if necessary. For instructions on how to recompile FMDC,
please refer to FMDC*1.0*2.
