    You shouldn't and don't need to compile internal IDE units. Compile with runtime packages and require designide.dcp.

    As Ondrej Kelle says, I don't think we ever shipped those files and the ToolsAPI source is provide more as a reference than anything, as you are not really allowed to compile it in your code. This is as designed, to prevent someone to use Delphi to rebuild a Delphi clone (which did happen!) -- at least this is what I remember, as it happened way before I joined the company.

    We'll double check internally, but are likely going to close the bug "as designed".

    Much appreciated! I was compiling a 3rd party component that required these files. I does makes sense what you are saying!
