This is the Silverpoint MultiInstaller on steroids. It allows you to install multiple Delphi packages directly from git repositories (e.g. Github), from zip files or from existing folders in one-step.
Documentation
Please read the orginal documentation in conjuction
with the notes below.
List of enhanacements to the original program:
- GIT key
Example: Git=https://github.com/pyscripter/python4delphi.git
If the GIT key is provided Multiinstaller clones the repository. GIT.exe must be on the Windows path. - If you already have the sources of a component in-place you can omit both the "Zip" and "Git" keys. The component will be installed from the existing sources.
- LIBSUFFIX key
Example: LIBSUFFIX=%s0
Actual LibSuffix will be assumed to be the result of Format(LibSuffix, [DelphiIDEVersion] so if you install into Delphi Tokyo the LibSuffix will become 250. Athough MultiInstaller has auto-detection of the LIBSUFFIX directive this fails when this is inside conditional directives. - Automatic generation of .res package files if they are missing. Empty.res needs to be present in the same directory as the MultiInstaller executable.
- SearchPath folders are also added to the Win64 Library search path.
- The Delphi search path (-U dcc32 flag) is also used as the include search path (-I dcc32 flag) during package compilation.
