Hi,
I just installed the 8.04 trial , professional edition and are trying to compile a "minimalistic" project with one TChart on a form.

During compilation, I get the error Can't find static library Tee811.lib

If I click, remove the reference, the application is compiled and runs fine.

If I click remove the reference and also don't ask me this again. The application don't compile and I get linker error, unable to open file Tee811.lib.

What do I need to fix to get this simple application working?

thanks,
totte

Hi totte,

You should make sure that your project's search path point to latest version "Bin" and "Lib" folders and they are on *top* of the search path list (Project -> Options -> Directories/Conditionals).

Hope this helps!

Hi, I would very much like to make sure that my projects search path points to the latest Bin and Lib version of Tee.

However, your answer is misleading

(Project -> Options -> Directories/Conditionals)

I think is wrong. It should be on the Options->Environment Options->C++ Options->Paths and Directories


There are 6 different edit boxes on that page. which one should include the correct path?

I assume it is the Include and Library Path.

Then, which path is the "latest version path"?

I found out that TeeChart is installed in its own folder under Program files
C:\Program Files\Steema Software\

I had to search for the bpi files and found them in TeeChart 8.04 for Delphi 2007\Delphi11\Lib\Obj

So I had to add
C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart 8.04 for Delphi 2007\Delphi11\Lib\Obj to the above edit boxes.

Why is the above not taken care of your installer? A beginner user of Rad studio and tee chart will not be able to get this working without wasting a lof of time!
Please fix these things :)

Hi Totte,

Sorry, I thought you were using Delphi instead of C++ Builder. Installer usually does this job but in some circumstances it fails to do so.
