Hi,

I'm trying link in an object file generated from c code into a
delphi application using Delphi 2007 with the following directive:

{$L c_unit.obj}

I get the following error: E2045 Bad object file format: 'C:\opi\c
\c_unit.obj'

c_unit.obj generated by command: cl -c c_unit.c
cl is from microsoft visual c/c++ (version 6).

Delphi only links to object files in OMF format, not to ones in the
COFF format VC++ and GNU C++ produce. So use a Borland compiler (see
article linked to below) to compile your C file and it should work.

Much more about this, and some answers can be found here:
