RE: Delphi & build.pl Build notes

You can put all of your paths in a file called dopts.pl, next to the build.pl.  We did it that way so you wouldn't have to modify the file that is checked in to CVS.  It should look like this:

$::D = 'C:/lang/Borland/Delphi7';
$::TNT = "C:\\src\\jabber\\exodus\\exodus\\components\\tntUnicode";
$::ICQ = "\"C:\\src\\jabber\\exodus\\exodus\\plugins\\ICQ-Import\\ICQ\\Component\"";
$::NSIS = "\"C:\\Program Files\\NSIS\\makensis.exe\"";
$::DXGETDIR = "C:\\lang\\dxgettext";

But with you paths, obviously.

There's a zipdll.dll in the exodus root.  Use that one to ensure we're using the same version.  They've changed APIs a couple of times....

PGM: I thought you had added resource build steps for the emoticon libs?
