Adding a 2nd party xxx.lib file to my uV3 (V3.30) project causes
ERROR L218 NOT AN OBJECT FILE. xxx.lib was created on uV3 (V3.90),
any ideas? Even when right-click on the .lib file, uV3 reports &amp;quot;Not a
library file&amp;quot;.

Thanks all, solved. The library was built using RealView and I was
using CARM. I&amp;#39;ve made the switch to RealView and all is well.&lt;/p&gt;

That simply tells the tools to assume that anything with a
&lt;b&gt;.lib&lt;/b&gt; extension is to be treated as a Library file - it is up
to you to ensure that your &lt;b&gt;.lib&lt;/b&gt; file is valid for use with
your particular version of the Keil tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Have you done that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: xxx.lib file won't link ERROR L218</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/103654?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:54:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:58cda85c-c711-4a40-a94e-479c338fb4bf</guid><dc:creator>ImPer Westermark</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Not uncommon to get problems when linking a library built with a
different version of the tools - especially if using c++.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Does it make a difference if you try to build a little library
with your version of the compiler?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Have you asked Keil support?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: xxx.lib file won't link ERROR L218</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/77969?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:47:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:98ee975d-e54a-4296-b208-13c3ff3f2b67</guid><dc:creator>r taylor</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
In the &amp;quot;properties/file type&amp;quot; area for this file it is designated
as a Library file. Anything else I should look for, thanks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: xxx.lib file won't link ERROR L218</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/57371?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:42:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:c43c743a-4618-431f-9991-2f9539c7fc52</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Is it in the appropriate Library format required by Keil?&lt;/p&gt;
