Development environment question

Hello ,
I checked out the svn code and tried to compile it. I did follow the 
instructions from README.txt.
It failed with a lot of errors. I tried both with delphi 7 and with BSD 
2006.
On delphi 7 after some tweaking i was able to get it to compile but gave 
lots of errors when running .
On BDS 2006 it didn't even compiled. It complained about SSL , about 
missing classes etc etc.

If is possible can someone who has a working environment to post what 
development tools are needed ?

Best regards ,
Mihai
