- Nothing wrong with BC++, it's the library you are linking. Are the libs
- you refer to static libraries, or import libraries? If they are static
- libs, then you need to rebuild then with BC++. If they are import libs,
- then find the dlls, and using implib.exe, create BC++ compatible import
- libraries.
