Problem linking C++Builder demo program

Bill Comben · Post by **Bill Comben** » Wed 22 Jun 2005 17:55

Hi, I have used mysql on websites with PHP, I now want to access mysql tables from a PC application using CBuilder 5 and have downloaded the Mydac trial version.

When I compile the Cbuilder5 demo program I get the following linker error

[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'MYCONNECTFORM.OBJ'

Is this a file that I am supposed to provide?, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Bill

Hello Ikar, thank you for your reply.

Yes I have tried to compile the MyDAC/Demos/Cbuilder5 application but it gives the compiler error as I stated.

Anything else I could try to fix the problem.

Please check if Tools->Environment Options->Library->Library path contains '$(BCB)\MyDac\Lib\ path.

Hi Ikar

The path was not included, so I have added it, but I still get the same error message.

The complete Library path is now

$(BCB)\Lib;$(BCB)\Bin;$(BCB)\Imports;$(BCB)\Projects\Bpl;c:\apro;$(BCB)\MyDac\Lib

Thanks, Bill

Check if the requested file is in this folder.

Hi Ikar

No the required file does not exist on my system, should it have been part of the download package ?

Thanks, Bill

This file aviable in the package and also you can make it self:
execute: dcc32 -jphn MyConnectForm.pas

Yes, it is apart of installation. Please re-install MyDAC and check for this file availability.
What is the exact version of MyDAC that you use?

Hi Ikar and Guest, thanks for your advise.

The file was not included in the demo version that I downloaded last week.

I have now compiled as requested and all is well, I now have a demo program that I can use to test out Mydac.

If all goes well I shall purchase the program in the next few weeks.

Once again thanks for all your help.

Bill
