RAD Studio XE 2010 : Graphics32 compilation problem

I'm trying to install Graphics32 to my freshly installed Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. I just open GR32_DSGN_RS2010.bpl and I try to compile it.

I get this error :

[DCC Erreur] GR32.inc(172): E2029 Déclaration attendu(e) mais constante chaîne trouvé(e)

Which means

[DCC Erreur] GR32.inc(172): E2029 Declaration expected but constant found instead

It's here:

{$IFNDEF COMPILER6}
{$IFNDEF FPC}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'  Graphics32 may only be installed with Delphi/BCB 6 (or higher)    '
'   or Free Pascal / Lazarus                                         '
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
{$ENDIF}
{$ENDIF}

So it seems like there's a "define" problem. Any idea where I should look / what I should modify to make it work?

Much as I haven't installed Graphics32 into mine, you can just comment out all those lines :) Take it from there.

Sounds like you have an old version of graphics32 which doesn't have up to date conditional definitions for recent Delphi versions in the GR32.inc include file.

Simplest solution is to download the latest graphics32 which has been updated for XE.

It seems you have to get the latest development version for XE compatibility.

I think the current 1.9 release doesn't correctly support XE. Ther error you see is probably because the .INC file fails to detect the new compiler version.

I found this upload on sourceforge, which has 'compatibility fixes' for Graphics32 on XE.

I have got adapted GR32 for Delphi XE. There is compatibility changes.

As an alternative, you could get the latest source snapshot directly from the project SVN server. It seems that version has XE supported included.

No warranty expressed or implied, though. :-)
