Good question.


I use delphi 7 to compile this.

Free pascal ( lazarus ) does not have clipbrd unit.


I cannot install delphi 7 on windows 7 so this is what I do:

install delphi 7 as minimal as you can on XP and manually backup ( copy )
command line compiler only. ( bin, lib, and 2 registry files )

registry files you "export" after minimal delphi installation:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Borland]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland]


This is content of "installation" pack:

Bin
Lib
hkcu.reg
hklm.reg
SETUP.bat

"Installation":

SETUP.bat:

xcopy *.* C:\"Program Files"\Borland\Delphi7 /S /I /Y
regedit /s hkcu.reg
regedit /s hklm.reg


Use:

D7.bat:

"C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\BIN\DCC32.EXE" -cc %1
pause

Example:

C:\MISC\D7>D7 GINIKO_URL.dpr

C:\MISC\D7>"C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\BIN\DCC32.EXE" -cc GINIKO_URL.dpr
Borland Delphi Version 15.0

Press any key to continue . . .


Why not C, this would be the best ?

C code is not so appealing, though being the best and portable everywhere.
