Correction. The call was to _ftime() because CodeGear Help misdirected me to ms-help://borland.bds5/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_vccrt/html/96bc464c-3bcd-41d5-a212-8bbd836b814a.htm . When changed to ftime() linking with Dynamic RTL checked succeeds. (unchecked still does not)
Not so, at least anymore. I don't know why it linked successfully that time.
Correction, I called _ftime() because CodeGear Help misdirected me. Calling ftime() and having $(BDS)\lib\release in the library search path seems to be enough. Note: it did not Build correctly until a Clean was performed.
After any important change in project settings (like switching from
dynamic to static RTL) full rebuild is a must.
