DirectQB library errors

Post by SlowCoder »

Browsing your threads, I found a reference to DirectQB. I downloaded it, and ran the DQB manager to create the QLB and LIB files. No errors.

When I run "QB /L DQB" from the DirectQB directory, I get the following error:
"Error in loading file (DQB.qlb ) - Invalid format.

I have tried a few times to rebuild the libraries, and I downloaded the source from http://www.ecplusplus.com , who I believe is the original writer.

Does it matter that I'm running this from DOSBox?

I figured it out. My QB libraries are not in the main QB path that is asked for by the DirectQB library builder. I had to copy the libraries to the root of my QB directory. Something I guess the author didn't consider.

Always consider where the referenced files are located.

I usually keep all of my work in the folder WITH QB.EXE
