Question and Answer Database FAQ3821C.txt Cannot find X.lib or X.h: $(BCB) path isn't working right Category :Linker Platform :Windows NT Product : C++Builder1.0 C++Builder3.x Question: I'm trying to compile a program that should work, but I'm getting strange linker errors: "Can't find.lib" or "Can't find .h". Those files are in the lib directory or in the include directory where they should be. I checked my library path, and it says: $(BCB)\LIB;$(BCB)\LIB\OBJ It seems that for some reason, the $(BCB) environment variable isn't working correctly. Answer: We've seen this only on Windows NT, so far. The best way to deal with it is to install Builder 3 to a path that has short file names (8 characters or fewer) such as: c:\builder3 or c:\borland\builder3 12/30/99
