Procedures for manually installing UNIDAC

Each installation is not the same, and sometimes very troublesome, so write down. My installation process is this:

0. Modify the Source\delphi7\make.bat, fill in the correct idedir

1, find the Source\delphi7 directory, all the DPK files are here.
2. Compile the DAC to run the package, i.e. DAC70.DPK.
3. If it is D6 or D7, compile the DAC GUI related package, which is dacvcl70.dpk.
4. Compile the DAC to run the package, i.e. DCLDAC70.DPK.
5, if it is D6 or D7, compile unidacvcl70.dpk.
6, separately compile the driver package: Pg/ora/mssql/mysql/ib driver package (especially do not forget to compile Crcontrols package, otherwise UNIDAC each boot will say that failed to load, although actually successfully loaded)
7, compile and install UNIDAC design package, namely DCLUNIDAC70.DPK.

8. Install package to find UNIDAC\BIN\DELPHI7\UNIDAC7.BPL
It is important to note that
1, UNIDAC and ODBC driver package conflict.
2, uniproviders under the driver Package Inc files, such as Ibdac.inc, Odac.inc, etc., default is not Professional Edition, in these Inc files, add a {$DEFINE Unidacpro}, to avoid finding some specific files during the run.
3. The option in the Dpk file seems to be problematic, preferably instead of the output directory to empty, the default path to Delphi (projects\bpl\), Unit output directory refers to ".", output to the current path.
4, the last point is a cliché, don't forget to add the UNIDAC path to the IDE's library path, that is, the path to source.
