It seems to be necessary if you don't have MFC on your system based on no install of VC++, because Builder won't compile with the indicated references in the .def file. (I considered going after the MFC files, but it occurred to me that compiling them without owning VC++ would probably be contrary to a licensing agreement, and I don't know if that route would even work.)
Actually, my goal was to get BC++ 4.5 to compile, and it seemed that if I couldn't get a basic conduit file to compile with Builder, I had no shot with BC++ 4.5. The lack of wisdom in creating application specific, custom versions of standard Palm dll's has been discussed previously by others, so I abandoned that thought (although it was certainly a valid suggestion). (I started getting the lay-out of the quagmire this weekend. Now, if I can only figure out how to reference individual data types in each record on the Palm device, get them transferred, and, oh yeah, get VB5 to build the conduit using .COM ...) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: palm-dev-forum To: "Palm Developer Forum" <palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 4:12 PM Subject: Re: Linker Error > > > Yes, the Conduit DLLs use MFC.
