Delphi 2010 with an earlier compiler

Can I use the Delphi 7 compiler inside the Delphi 2010 IDE?

We want to transfer at some point in the future to 2010 with D7, but so far we are stuck because of many sources and components of unUnicode. But we want to enjoy the many features of the Delphi 2010 IDE that everyone is talking about.

Is it possible? How it's done? What problems do we face?

You can check the IDE Compiler Plugin v.1.0 , which allows you to compile a Delphi project from the IDE with an older or newer version of the Delphi compiler. It can be used to compile a Delphi 2007 project using the Delphi 2009 compiler to get the version of the UNICODE executable, or vice versa. For component developers, this plugin allows you to compile their components for different versions of Delphi in one IDE. And Delphi 2007 users can test-compile their projects against the Unicode Delphi 2009 compiler.

Features:

  • Can connect to every command line compiler
  • Add / Remove Delphi Compiler Options
  • Redirect Search Paths
  • Change compilers command line on the fly
  • 2009 Predefined Compiler Configuration for Delphi 2007
  • 2007 Predefined Compiler Configuration for Delphi 2009

Requirements:

  • Delphi 2007 and 2009 must be installed

Limitations:

  • Cannot debug code that was compiled by the connected compiler.

This is the only tool that I know, unfortunately, it is not compatible with Delphi 2010.

You can use new build events to start compiling the command line with D7 after compiling D2010.
