Unable to open include file 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp'

[Andrew Bond]

I am trying to compile a project with C++Builder XE3 Update 2 that uses the latest TeeChart VCL 2013.08 release.

With the 32-bit compiler, I get the error messages:

[bcc32 Error] VCLTee.TeeGDIPlus.hpp(23): E2209 Unable to open include file 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp'

On inspecting the relevant path (C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\include\windows\rtl) I find lots of 'Winapi.xxx.hpp' files, but not 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp' or 'Winapi.GDIPOBJ.hpp'.

I have seen some discussion of this issue on this discussion board, but that was a year ago and referred to C++Builder XE2. I would expect the problem to have been fixed in the latest TeeChart release... so what gives?

The latest TeeChart does not work out of the box with C++Builder XE3 or C++Builder 2007, AFAIK.

Any help resolving these issues would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Andrew

PS Please note that I have got the Steem paths specified correctly (and first) in the compiler's environment settings.

Hi Andrew,

On inspecting the relevant path (C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\include\windows\rtl) I find lots of 'Winapi.xxx.hpp' files, but not 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp' or 'Winapi.GDIPOBJ.hpp'.

That's strange. I've checked several machines here and all have these files. Have you tried to repair the IDE?

I have looked on two different machibnes and these files appear on neither:

Windows 7 32-bit machine
C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\include\windows\rtl does NOT include 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp' or 'Winapi.GDIPOBJ.hpp'
On this machine I have installed C++Builder XE3 Update 2 only yesterday and have repaired once already

Windows 7 62-bit machine
C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\include\windows\rtl does NOT include 'Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp' or 'Winapi.GDIPOBJ.hpp'
On this machine I have installed C++Builder XE3 Update 1

So ... you are making assumptions about the installation of C++Builder that do not hold with a standard install. What have you done at your end to get these GDIPlus files?

Please can you post (or send) the missing files so I can patch my installation? Send to andrew dot bond at geocentrix dot co dot uk

A further thought ... when I install XE3, I do NOT install TeeChart Standard (as comes bundled with XE3). Is that necessart to get the GDIPlus headers?

[anauta2014]

I've just checked my installation of the XE3-XE4, these file are absent also, and usually I am installing without standard TeeChart

[Andrew Bond]

Just done a clean install of XE3 Update 2, with the option to install TeeChart Standard now on...

Still no sign of GDIPAPI.hpp or GDIPOBJ.hpp in the C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\10.0\include\windows\rtl folder.

I am installing the Delphi and C++Builder personalities.

Would someone from Steema please explain how you are getting these files? This problem is not isolated to my machines (see other reports on this forum).

At the moment TeeChart is totally broken for me.

[Andrew Bond]

I have searched the web and see that this same problem has been reported on these forums here:

http://www.teechart.net/support//viewto ... =3&t=14101

in December 2012.

Why has this NOT been fixed in the latest release? it is clearly a known problem.

Hello,

If you don't find GDIPAPI.hpp, GDIPOBJ.hpp, Winapi.GDIPAPI.hpp and/or Winapi.GDIPOBJ.hpp in the "\include\windows\rtl" folder in your IDE installation, please, use the attached headers that seem to be missing in your installation:
