[ILINK32 Error] Fatal: Illegal option: 2.dll

[Micheal Gurnett]

I'm trying to write a small project to in order to use cairo. However, I'm
not even able to compile the simplest of programs. I keep getting the
following "[ILINK32 Error] Fatal: Illegal option: 2.dll" when linking
libcairo-2.dll. What can be the problem. Has anyone used c++ builder 2007
with cairo.


Thank you

My guess is the hyphen. What is the exact command line in the Output
pane?

-dLIBCAIRO-2.DLL

As I suspected, the hyphen in libcairo-2.dll is the problem. You
cannot quote items for the -d switch either. Please enter this into QC
and I'll discuss it with the team.
