Greetings,
I have a DLL built using CB6 that upon deployment generated errors
that VCL60.bpl could not be found. I did a web search and found a
powerpoint presentation that explained how to setup static linking by
unchecking the Build with Runtime Packages on the packages page and
unchecking the Build with Runtime Packages on the Linker page of the
project options.
When I rebuild without those options checked, I get a linker error:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'Dbtables::EDBEngineError::'
referenced from E:\CIFASV2\CHARMBLD\UTILITY.OBJ
I checked the referenced module and added an #include for the
<vcl\DBTables.hpp>file but still receive the error.
What am I missing to eliminate the need for distributing the VCL60,bpl
file and rebuilding the DLL with static linking?
TIA,
- Bob

Gambit,
Thanks for the quick reply...
conversion of an old stand alone application that didn't have any
issues. How do I add these libraries? Do I use the project options
dialog or add another include statement to the referenced module?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated, I've been searching the web
but haven't found any clues...

dropping directly into the IDE's code editor but nothing happened. I
used the Project - Edit Option Source menu selection and it opened up
a .bpr.xml file that lists the following:
<LIBRARIES value="dbrtl.lib vcl.lib vclAbsDBb6.lib rtl.lib"/>
<SPARELIBS value="rtl.lib vclAbsDBb6.lib vcl.lib dbrtl.lib"/>
<PACKAGES value="vcl.bpi rtl.bpi vclx.bpi bcbsmp.bpi dbrtl.bpi

teedb.bpi tee.bpi teeqr.bpi ibxpress.bpi visualclx.bpi
visualdbclx.bpi
dbexpress.bpi dbxcds.bpi vclAbsDBb6.bpi"/>
I added dbx.lib and bdertl.lib to these sections and saved the file
but when I rebuild I get an error indictating dbx.lib could not be
found. I searched for dbx.lib on my system and it only found dbx.lib
in the BDS\lib directory. It did find a vcldx.lib in the
CBuilder6\lib directory so I'm guessing that I should you use that
correct? Am I on the right track here?
Thanks again for your continued assistance.

The dll file size jumped from 188K to 2.1M so it appears the static
build included the necessary libs.
I don't know how I would have ever resolved this problem without this
support forum and your assistance - THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

use an external editor instead, such as Notepad.
ignore dbx altogether, as long as bdertl is present instead.
