[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'DCLUSR.LIB'

Can anyone help me with this error?

[Linker Fatal Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'DCLUSR.LIB'

I've checked the disk and the file does not exist with a .lib but I do get a...

.bdsproj
.dcu
.dpk
.res

Can anyone help?

Hi Chris,
looks like you have not (successfully) compiled the 'DCLUSR.LIB' project.
The fact, that you have the project files but not the *.lib is a strong
indicator. Try opening the .bdsproj (I can't tell you which IDE uses .bdsproj,
but you probably know, since you have the files on your box ;-).
Once you have successfully compiled the Lib, place it in your Lib-Path and
your original project will hopefulle not produce the above error any longer.

Cheers,

D

Hi,

I get a box come up when I try to compile it,

"Personality CPlusPlusBuilder. Personality is required to load this project and is not loaded."

What does this mean?

I feel like bart simpson when he sold his soul to milhouse.

I found a .bpk file in another directory and that successfully built from a cpp file.

I have now gone from having one compile error to 124.

Don't be alarmed by the 124 count. You simply miss a one or more header files/ .lib files that are needed in the project.

In general, always fix the first error that the compiler finds (and then re-compile if the next error is not clearly unrelated). In .net, leaving off a terminal } for a function can create so many errors the compiler stops with a "too many errors found" error... fixing the top error will often fix the next several, or in extreme cases, the next several hundred.
