Boss experts have problem compiling for bcc64x #174

Description

@david-millington

Hello,

We've had a couple of customers ask us about issues installing Boss from GetIt and using it with the new C++ toolchain we finished in 12.2, the C++ Win64 Modern toolchain. The errors they see are:

Problem occurred when compiling for "Win64x" platform with "Release" configuration.
[dcc64 Fatal Error] BossExperts.dpk(33): E2202 Required package 'designide' not found
Failed

Problem occurred when compiling for "Win64x" platform with "Debug" configuration.
[dcc64 Fatal Error] BossExperts.dpk(33): E2202 Required package 'designide' not found
Failed

Would you be able to add support please?

We have a documentation page meant for third party component / library developers on how to add this: a how-to Build Delphi Packages for C++. It has info on command-line switches if you build that way, or msbuild, and project settings, as well as what can be shared between the two Win64 C++ builds (eg the final Delphi package binary and HPP headers should be the same, it's other artifacts that are different.)

But the error here seems more like a project configuration error - my guess is to add designide as a dependency, simply for that platform.

Please let me know if you have any questions on the doc, too -- I'll answer them, but also we'll add to the doc for everyone else!

Many thanks,

David
