Delphi: rbTC1416 package cannot find the Graphics unit: ensure your DCC_Namespace is correctly

I had to add this to my DCC_Namespace in the rbTC1416.dproj file to make it build under Delphi XE8:

Vcl;Vcl.Imaging;Vcl.Touch;Vcl.Samples;Vcl.Shell;

The occurrence of this DCC_Namespace setting corresponds to the “Unit scope names” of the “All configurations – All Platforms” target in the project options.

That got rid of this error mesage:

[dcc32 Fatal Error] ppChrt.pas(17): F2613 Unit 'Graphics' not found.

It was for a site that had very little ReportBuilder but a truckload of FastReports stuff, so I temporarily needed their ReportBuilder for XE2 to just load in Delphi XE8 at design time so I could migrate.

Apparently not all the ReportBuilder packages use the same namespace definitions. Even worse: they add various namespaces at various target levels in an inconsistent way, so it took me a bit more time than I originally hoped for sorting this out.

Below is what the original settings were: only the .\TeeChart\Win32\TeePro900 directory had TeeChart project files (the .\Source and .\TeeChart\Win32\TeeStd900 directories hadn’t) and all three had slightly different unit source files for TeeChart support.
