  Any idea what I should look for?

• 

  I just updated to the latest Rio 10.3.2 and I’m seeing a similar problem. Error detected (LME200) Unable to perform link.
  Any suggestions?

• 

  I forgot to mentioned that I’m not using CLANG

• 

  If I use CLANG, then LIB and DLL are created. However, I noticed that very few libraries are created (I think 2 and 2)
  Also, I noticed that if I disable CodeGuard, it seems to be working also for Classic Compiler. I will know in a few hours.

• 

  I spoke too soon. Classic compiler only creates Static library. It fails to create dynamic LIB and DLL.
  Any ideas?

    Hi,

    One thing I have found is that C++ Builder may have a problem when installed in a folder with a long path name, containing spaces.

    Can you try to re-install it in a different location like c:bcb103?

  Hi Jogy,

  It worked fine with 10.3 and 10.3.1. Something may have changed with 10.3.2

  Kind regards,

    Hi, Roberto,

    I was finaly able to install C++ Builder 10.3.2, which was not easy — their servers are not working, so the web installer could not download the correct platform — and my install got messed up, so I had to uninstall, download the offline installer, run it.
    Then I used the GetIt package workaround (https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/temporary-10-3-2-getit-server-for-installing-10-3-2-add-on-packages) to be able to download the Boost libraries that are needed.

    But after all this, OWLMaker ran successfully and build all the non-CLang OWLNext libraries.

      Hi Jogy,

      Indeed it has been an ordeal dealing with Embarcadero and their servers.
      I have not downloaded the latest Boost libraries. I was told that I had to wait for the servers to be on-line.
      Thank you very much for the link. I will try it today.

      Kind regards,

      Roberto Meneghini

  Hi Jogy,

  Why only static linking is available for CLANG?

  Kind regards,

  Roberto

  • 

    Making dynamic libraries to build is more complicated than static ones. For static ones, you just need to compile all the .cpp modules and then use TLib to generate the .lib file.

    For dynamic OWLNext libraries, first a .DLL must be compiled and linked, then an import library generated from the DLL, and then some more modules to be added with TLib to that import library. I have not researched about if that is possible by using a .cbproj file.

    Using static linking is recommended, since it reduces the dependencies of the executable and avoids problems with DLL versions.

      Hello Jogy,

      Thank you for the explanation.

      Unfortunately, I have not been very successful using static libraries. The project that I’m trying to port from Borland C++ 5.02 to Embarcadero Rio 10.3.2 is made up of many DLL modules. It also consume VCL via ActiveX and now via DLLs. It was working fine (well at least that is what I think) with Rio 10.3.1 and OWLNext dynamic libraries (using _OWLDLL & _OCFDLL).
      Hopefully with the instructions that you sent me on the other message, I will be able to recreate OWLNext DLLs and continue the migration.

      Kind regards,

      Roberto Meneghini

        Hi,

        if you still cannot build the libraries, and tell me which libraries you need, I can put both the .lib and the .dll files that I have built somewhere for download and send you a link.

          Hi Jogy,

          It worked. I just finished rebuilding all the libraries. Thank you very much.

          Best regards,

          Roberto Meneghini
