I'm trying to compile a component with Delphi source in BCB 6.
It does OK initially, but has a plethora of linker errors when it
finishes, listing unresolved external reference to
Outline::TCustomOutline.

I added "Outline" to the list of modules under "uses" in the .PAS
file, so that it appears thus:

uses
  Windows, Messages, Classes, Controls, Outline;

...with the belief that this would resolve the references 
to TCustomOutline.  However, the linker complains that it can't
fine OUTLINE.OBJ!  This makes little sense to me, since the
other "uses" modules don't have OBJ files either, but ALL of them
have DCU and RES files in the $(BCB)/Lib/Obj directory.

If the linker can find the Windows, Controls, etc. modules, why
is it choking on Outline?

Many thanks,
Terry
