If you meant C++ 5 as in BC5, that is probably because the DirectX 8.0 libraries don''t like Borland too much. Microsoft was never a company to be considerate to others.

You can recreate the lib''s using implib on your dll''s, but the headers are another issue all together.

I get this same error with Visual C++ 5.0 so I guess you''re using it too. I don''t know what causes it but I fixed it by flagging the "generate debug info" in project settings / link. Another way is to set the active configuration to win32 debug (that actually changes the flag + something else too).

If anyone knows the real reason why this happens and how it should be fixed, please let us know.
