Turbo C++/Pro and Indy trouble

Hi guys,
I've purchased and installed Turbo C++/Pro (TCP) and want to use Indy.
Apparently the Indy 10 version supplied with TCP is not compatible with
C++ :s I've seen other people saying you get the choice between Indy 9 and
10 on install, however I don't. It seems only Indy 10 is installed
automatically, and it gives the "incompatible" error on compile when using
an Indy component.
I've tried to download the new Indy 10 release (10.0.52) but when I open
the project files it says I can't open them because I don't have Delphi
Personality installed (since I dont have the full suite I guess).
I've also tried the Indy 9 source, but it looks like I can't open the
delphi projects in Turbo C++/Pro. At least nothing happens when I try.
Anybody has a step-by-step guide to install Indy with TCP? I don't care if
it is 9 or 10, although if 10 works with TCP I guess that is better?
Kind regards
Michael Thomsen

Not at the time of release, no.

That applies to the BDS 2006 installer.

That is not new. 10.0.52 is very old. Over 2 years old, in fact.
The current development snapshot is 10.1.6 instead.

Indy is written in Delphi (like most other third-party components
are). You can't install Indy into C++ without compiling it with
Delphi first.

I now tried to install Turbo C++ from the web download instead of
the one supplied on my Pro CD, and it seems that one installed
Indy 9 (without asking). And that seems to be working.

Eh ok, that's what I found on the indyproject website. Is 10.1.6
compatible with Turbo C++/Builder? And if it is, how do I install it?

Yeah, but Turbo C++/Pro includes the pascal compiler so you can install
delphi components. I've done that already with some other components
and that worked like a charm.

10.1.6 is on the website as well.

The source code is, yes (mostly). There are still some compatibility
issues that haven't been fully resolved yet, but it is possible to
compile Indy 10.1.6 for C++. I can compile Indy 10.1.6 for BCB, but
as for Turbo specifically, I have no clue. It hasn't been tried yet,
and I'm not sure about the BDS support, either.

Ok, thanks for info. I'll stick with Indy 9 for now, then. Especially
since it finally seems to be working :)
