- I have been using Borland's Turbo C++ 3.0 for several months now. One of
- the things about it that I like the most is the ObjectWindows library. This
- has made Windows programming much easier for me.
-
- A week ago, I bought Borland C++ 3.1. (Irresistable student discount.) It
- is much better than TC 3.0, except that it does not contain ObjectWindows.
- No problem, thought I. I'll just move the library from TC over to BC. After
- all, the support for it is still there, right? (BC 3.1 even includes the
- help files for OWL.) Well...I tried to compile a program that uses OWL. I
- got one error message in one of the header files, and added a type cast to
- it. (BC 3.1 must be more picky.) Now my program compiles fine, but I get
- numerous errors for the linker. The linker claims it is unable to find a
- number of functions. Not ALL the ObjectWindows functions, just a few.
-
- So, does anyone know if there is any hope for me? Is there any way I can
- use ObjectWindows in BC 3.1, and if so, how?
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
