Hi,
I have Borland c++ Builder 6.
My application use a proprietary library for manage a camera.
In my source code I use:
......
long myerror = GetDevicePar(A, B);
.....
When I build the program I have this linker error:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '__stdcall GetDevicePar(.....) referenced
from C:\....\Unit1.Obj

Now, I add to project the manage camera library, CAMERA.LIB, and build
again. But I have a new error:

[Linker Error] C:\....\CAMERA.LIB contains invalid OMF record, type
0x21(possibly COFF)

So I use from console:

implib camera.DLL camera2.LIB

but the new library camera2.LIB = 11 KB
, the old camera.LIB = 28 KB????

Now I add to project the new lib camera2.LIB and build again.
But I have again the first linker Error :
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '__stdcall GetDevicePar(.....) referenced
from C:\....\Unit1.Obj

Last note: if I use from console: omf2coff camera.LIB camera3.LIB  the
camera3.LIB = 3 KB!!???!!! and it NOT work.

I'M GOING CRAZY!!! HELP ME, PLEASE.
