DX8 and C++ Builder 5
November 19, 2000 04:05 PM
I am trying to compile 2 lines of code for a Direct3DCreate8 but I get an error saying: "Linker Error - D3D8.LIB contains invalid OMF record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF).
I know that for DX7 there were different lib files to use with Borland CBuilder. But I just can''t find it for DX8. Can somebody HELP me please.

You need to create the libraries for Borland. Borland and Microsoft use two differant formats. I believe Microsoft is COFF and Borland is OMF, thus the message. There is a command line utility name IMPLIB that will create the lib file off a DLL for you. It is documented in the help under command line tools.
