Could not link "vcl60.#00"

[szevvy]

My copy of BCB6 has always worked fine, until today when it popped up with this linker error - "Linker error: could not include vcl60.#00"...and now it happens even on a blank application. Uninstalling and re-installing didn't help. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Michael

The first thing to check is to see if that file exists. It should be in your CBuilder6\lib directory for where ever you put Builder.

If it exists there, then check to see if you have the correct path in your compiler. From the IDE select Project->Options or Shift+Ctrl+F11, then hit the "Directories/Conditionals" tab. In the library path you should have the path set up. It may look like $(BCB)\lib.

What are these files anyways? I always assumed they were modifications of the vcl to include installed components or precompiled headers. I have hundreds of them and I occasionally delete them. I don't suggest being as destructive as I am. But I'd really like to know what these files are.

Are they backups of .csm files (precompiled headers)? Anyone know?

I have reinstalled windows five times this year on my daughters computer because she deleted files she did not know nothing about.

I only find 4 or 5 files with *.#*. All of them are in the CBuiler library directory. I assume that they are precompiled libraries.

What I do have is a lot of *.~* files. These are backup files of my header or C++ source codes. Everytime I edit source code, BCB creates a file with the tidle mark (~). It is safe to delete those.
