Link Error within C++ Builder

Then I searched from google and followed the suggestion to update the ilinker32.exe and ilinker32.dll. The link problem was still there but in the different type:

[Linker Error] Fatal: Access violation. Link terminated.

Then I tried to open a new project by adding all the .cpp, .h and .lib file to the new project and built. The same linker error message showed up.

Then I tried to rebuild an old version of the project which can be sucessfully built previously to see whether this problem was due to my C++ Builder or the project. It was built without any error.

Then I tried to copy this old version of project to another directory and rebuilt. The same linker error message showed up.

I really don't know what's wrong with it. Any suggestion will be great apreciated.

What type of project have you created?

Did you write the makefile or did the tool generate it?? If the tool generates it, there should not be a problem.

If a library is missing, you need to add the library to the list of additional dependencies for the linker AND you need to specify the path to that library.

You will need to see how this is done in C++ Builder.

Specifying the path to the library maay not be enough. You may also need to add the name of the library to your project. Look in the area where you specify linker parameters and search for something like "linker input" or "linker dependencies". Almost certainly, you need to get that library name into the project.
