Question and Answer Database FAQ1018C.txt Linker error: Unable to find file: xxx.res Category :Linker Platform :All Product :C++Builder 1.x Question: When I try to build some of the examples shipped with C++Builder I get the message: Linker error: Unable to find file: sysutils.res Among several others. There files where all installed under CBuilder\Lib\Obj and the path for Libraries is correct. What's wrong? Answer: Try building the target from the command-line using make: make -B -K -fproject.mak This may show errors coming from ilink (or other tool) that are not being correctly displayed back on the IDE. One example is the use of dashes on directory names, like: \WINDOWS\SOFT-DEV\CBUILDER\BIN This will be interpreted by Ilink as -DEV\CBUILDER, or an invalid command line option (-D), causing the "Cannot find file" message to appear. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
