将旧的Delphi 7代码迁移到Delphi XE-找不到QForms.dcu

Question

I just bought and installed Delphi XE and was hoping to compile my old D7 project there.

However, I hava a source file that "uses QForms" and that generates a "file not found: qforms.dcu" and I can find no relevant reference to what to do about that file googling around...

Any idea how to solve it?

Answer 1

QForms is from CLX , the Qt based cross-platform library that was introduced with Delphi 6/Kylix. So far as I know, CLX is no longer shipped with Delphi.

You need to do one of the following:

1. Stick with Delphi 7.
2. Port the code to VCL. This will tie you to the Windows platform.
3. Get Delphi XE2 and use FireMonkey since clearly at some point in time this code was intended to be cross-platform.
