   It's being asked for somewhere. Primary culprits are a #pragma link 
in your code, it being in the LIBS or SPARELIBS section of your project 
file (open the project file in notepad to check), or being added in as a 
comment from a static library you are linking in (it will need to be 
rebuilt).

Thanks for the reply David. I've searched all project files and the 
myapp.cbproj file for "STLPMT" without success. Anywhere else I might find 
the reference to it? What I can't understand is how the project compiles OK 
under BCB6 when I can't find the STLPMT.LIB anywhere on the hard drive.

Try sysinternals FileMon program and filter for *STLPMT*, you ought to at 
least be able to find out where the tools think they're finding it...

   That means it's got to be referenced by one of the library files in 
your project. That library will need to be rebuilt in C++Builder 2007.

dhoke, where do I find sysinternals FileMon?

David, I'm a bit lost. I don't have any libs of my own in the project so I 
can only assume it belongs to 3rd party software. The only one I've added is 
the core lab MyDAC components but, as they're 2007 specific,  I'd assume 
they're already built in bcb 2007.

   The file in question is the STL library from BCB6, there has to be a 
library, .obj, or source file which references this library being used 
by your project. Try a Clean before you build.

Thanks dhoke. It seems Filemon and Regmon have been replaced by a single exe 
called Process Monitor

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

I downloaded it and restricted it to monitor files from my project 
directory. After 'making' the project I checked the list but I'm not sure 
what I'm looking for. There's no shortage of NAME NOT FOUND results due to 
it searching the path and there's a lot of temporary files etc. A nice bit 
of software but I'm none the wiser at the moment.

The only piece of my own code associated with libraries is contained in a 
file that defines new components (which I've reinstalled using bcb2007). 
That package has the following 'Requires' list

bdertl.bpi
dbrtl.bpi
rtl.bpi
vcl.bpi
vcldb.bpi

Anyone know if any of them use STLPMTI.LIB? Although, if they do, I can't 
understand why I was able to install the components in the first place. 

I eventually got my app to work by opening a new project and adding the 
files one by one to it. I tried the same thing with a second project but 
when adding the 5th file I'm back to the "Unable to open file STLPMT.LIB" 
linker error.  The strange thing is, the file that causes the error has 
almost identical #includes and #pragmas as the 4th file which caused no 
linker error. They differ only in that the 5th file has a line

#include <values.h>

in it. The only other difference is that the class defined in the 5th file 
is derived from the class defined in the 4th file.

Does any of this give a clue as to where the need for this non existent 
STLPMT.LIB comes from? 

There's also a warning given for the 5th file which is

[BCC32 Warning] values.h(28): W8017 Redefinition of 'MAXINT' is not 
identical

???? 

I've removed any code requiring  <values.h> and removed <values.h>  from the 
includes but the link error still occurs.  What I'm left with is that the 
file that causes the error now has identical #includes and #pragmas as the 
4th file which causes no linker error. I'm assuming any 'need' for 
STLPMT.LIB is from one of the #includes or #pragmas as the rest of the 5th 
file is just standard c++ code. So why does the 5th file seem to 'require' 
STLPMT.LIB while the 4th file doesn't. As I said, the class defined in the 
5th file is derived from the class defined in the 4th file. If it isn't 
something to do with that I can't think of anything else. 

Does the following line from the build output give any clues?

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Borland.Cpp.Targets(1738,3): 
error : Fatal: Unable to open file 'STLPMT.LIB'

What you could try is to create an empty STLPMT.LIB, just running
"tlib stlpmt.lib" is enough.  If you get unresolved externals at link
time it will tell you what module needs them.

Regards,
Lee

Thanks Lee, that certainly sounds worth a try if I can manage to create the 
lib. "tlib stlpmt.lib" doesn't return any error  from command prompt but 
doesn't create the lib. The bcb6 help on tlib says to create a lib add files 
to a non-existant lib BUT "tlib stlpmt.lib + SomeObjectFile" doesn't create 
anything either (again, no error is returned).

Try it this way:

Find an object file on your drive.  Use it in the command line to create the 
library.
      tlib /C stlpmt.lib  +objname.obj

Or use wait.obj which I have posted in the borland.public.attachments group. 
It is only 268 bytes.

Thanks Ed. I've tried the following from command prompt

I've no idea why the first 2 didn't work. The third suggests the stlpmt.lib 
already exists but, when doing a search of the entire hard drive, windows 
vista cannot find stlpmt.lib???

I am suprised that any of them worked at all.  When using long file names 
with embedded spaces enclose the item in quotes.  When applying a '+' 
operator to what follows, do not put a space between them.

The duplicate symbol warning you show suggests that one of the previous 
commands somehow managed to create a library of that name.

Ed, I've discovered the "invisible files" are down to vista. Only after I 
right clicked tlib.exe in explorer and ticked 'Run as administrator' did the 
created lib's start to appear.  It also appears that if you do a file search 
on drive c: in vista, the program files folder is not searched. I despair.

Hmmm, that's interesting.  I tried it out before I posted to double
check.  Using "tlib anyname.lib" generates an empty library for me.

[C:\test]tlib anyname.lib
TLIB 5.1 Copyright (c) 1987-2007 CodeGear

[C:\test]dir

 Volume in drive C is unlabeled      Serial number is 8cdd:4a9f

          1,024 bytes in 1 file and 2 dirs    8,192 bytes allocated


Trying to remove a module should also work, ie. tlib anyname.lib - bogusname.

If you do a dir /s for the file from within a command window does it find 
them then?

Prior to running tlib.exe as administrator it didn't. All seems well now, 
the commands are working as they should and the file is showing in the 
correct folder.

I've now managed to create the empty STLPMT.LIB. The linker errors (pasted

Adding another cpp file to the app has generated a new set of linker errors. 
These are even more puzzling as I can't see how they can be down to me.

If I try to build the entire app (i.e. with all files added) the above 8 
errors are returned. Can anyone decipher them for me? 

I managed to get rid of the 8 errors by removing all includes and pragma 
links relating to shadocvw (all of which must have been auto generated by 
the bcb6 ide). Presumably these aren't neccessary in bcb2007 as the app did 
build ok. If I remove the empty 'dummy' stlpmt.lib file I get the original 
error though so, while I'm up and running, there's still something not quite 
right. Thanks to all who helped particularly Lee as without his dummy 
stlpmt.lib suggestion I'd have given up by now.
