It is a little tough to answer your question - you did not provide very much information. So I will have to guess at a few things:
1) You say Lib/objdir, so I have to guess you mean Windows? But what version? 2) I think error 1811 is likely a linker error - but you did not show us the actual error. 3) What version of Windows, if it is Windows? 4) What version of the compiler? 5) What version of jBASE? 6) What did you restore? An entire backup? Part of the system? Was the backup compiled using the same version of Windows and the compiler? 7) What kind of backup? 8) Which object code does it say is missing? You should be able to work out the source code that is not compiled from that. But, in general you can recompile everything and recatalog everything, so long as you have the source code. If you have changed compilers or systems since that backup, it is generally a good idea to recompile and recatalog. And not when the system is live of course. Maybe clear out all the old objects beforehand, though in theory that should not be required. If you have good backups, then you can try anything as you can always go back to the backup. But I would start by clearing out the object code you restored and doing a BASIC and CATALOG on all the files - that should clear everything up. Have you considered moving to Linux? The difference is quite big these days. You can also run it on AWS Linux in the cloud - there is no really good reason not to these days.
