ftd2xx borland

Hallo,

i try to compile the (C++ Builder) example 1 (**broken link removed**) with CodeGear C++, but i get followed error message:

[ILINK32 Fehler] Error: 'D:\MASTER_181206\SONSTIGE PROJEKTE\STUDIENPROJEKT\2007\EXAMPLE\C++\D2XXAPP\FTD2XX.LIB' enthõlt einen ung³ltigen OMF-Record, Typ 0x21 (m÷glicherweise COFF)


Can somebody help me, what i make wrong.

With best regards Josef

problem coff2omf

I think it might be with the way that the libraries are compiled. Borland uses a different format for dll's than Microsoft. One uses a coff format and one an omf format. Borland supplies a program, coff2omf.exe that converts one to the other. If you are not using the Borland compiler, a free download by the way, then try using the Microsoft example with CodeGear.

I think the FTDI *.DLL sample application requires MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes.) I haven't used Borland compiler for very long time -- does Borland include MFC?

You need Visual Studio 6 (or later) to compile FTDI example code.
