Compiling in newer Delphi versions, or Lazarus/FPC

[hollymcr]

It would be great to be able to use this excellent OPC library in something newer than D6 (latest mentioned in the docs) or D7 (where I have successfully got it working).

I've had no success in current Delphi versions, nor in Lazarus (FreePascal). It's a long shot but has anyone else tried/succeeded with this?

It's been a while since your posting but I was able to compile it on D12
I also installed the visual component successfully.

The demos also compile, but do not work.
E.g. the Demo1 does not connect due to a missing dependeny.
It says

Prozess ClientDemo1.exe (21348)

which means that the module is not found ?!?
