I have all my components installed in BDS2006 now. Most are written in Delphi, and I made them available from the C++ Builder personality by checking the 'Generate all C++ Builder files' option before building and installing the components from the Delphi personality using their Delphi 2006 packages. They all work at designtime, but when I compile even a small test project, it complains that it cannot find .obj files for the components, e.g. TBX.OBJ. I have no such file. I have TBX.DCU. Even with the 'Generate all C++ Builder files' option enabled, no .obj files are generated, only .hpp files. In my .cpp file, a pragma is automatically added: #pragma link "TBX" That's what's failing I assume. What am I missing here? In BCB6 I do have the .obj files, but there I used a C++ Builder specific package to install them. Do I really need to create my own C++ Builder 2006 packages? If so, what's the use of the 'Generate all C++ Builder files' option? Regards, Brian Back to top Raúl Lorenzo Guest Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 11:01 pm    Post subject: Re: Cannot find Delphi-component .obj files In BDS 2006, obj files are normally inside Debug_Build directory of the project you compiled.

Add the .lib to your project and all will link fine. -- -David Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione.

Add the .lib to your project and all will link fine. Interesting, that does seem to work. When I add components to a form, shouldn't BDS add the lib to the project automatically then? I think it should :-) Thanks!

Even with the 'Generate all C++ Builder files' option enabled, no .obj files are generated, only .hpp files. You are not supposed to be linking to the .OBJ files in the first place. Link to the .BPI or .LIB files instead. The .OBJ files are contained inside of them. Quote: What am I missing here? In BCB6 I do have the .obj files You should not have been using them even in BCB 6 and earlier versions. Always use the compiled package files instead.

I realize that it doesn't take that long to do, but does Borland have any sense of how bad it looks to managements folks when you tell them you want to upgrade, and one of their questions becomes "and will you have to do that project conversion nonsense this time?" It leaves a bad taste, it really does.

Did you import an existing project, or did you create a new one? You should always create new projects. The project importer is still buggy. I have to agree with this statement. I had numerous weird problems with my BCB4 converted project that made no sense to me. The "missing OBJ" messages from the linker nearly drove me insane. Finally I just created a new BDS2006 project from scratch and it all worked without any futher complications. The project in question consisted of 72 forms and 80+ source files. --- Michael McCulloch Back to top Brian Rasmusson Guest Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 8:01 am    Post subject: Re: Cannot find Delphi-component .obj files Quote: You should not have been using them even in BCB 6 and earlier versions. Always use the compiled package files instead. I'm not sure I have used the .OBJ files. I always add the libs to my projects, but I noticed that the .OBJ files were there in the component directories in my BCB6 installation, and it's not in my BDS2006 installation.

You should always create new projects. The project importer is still buggy. I tried opening a BCB6 project in BDS2006 to convert it, but it just threw an error at me. Then I created a new project and added all forms from my BCB6 project. Is this a wrong way to do it?
