Each line of the prj is simply an #implib statement followed by the name of the LIB to be created and the EXP to use when creating the LIB.

In early versions of C7 #implib was broken, so if it's not working for you it's probably time to update. |
Now you need to build that project. Create a new hand coded solution:
The easiest way to do this is as a Win32 EXE. A Win32 DLL works also but you'll need to edit the EXP file as it contains a line of reminder text. In either case you won't need the output of this solution, you just need a way to execute the project (you could include it with one of your existing apps, but I prefer to have it on its own so I control when it gets compiled).
...
Now just compile the app and all the LIB files specified in the #implib statements will be created. With those in hand you can compile all your apps with circular references in one pass.
If you want your implib solution to clean up after itself you can always add a post-build task to delete the resulting EXE.
And if you really want to get rid of those circular references, I strongly recommend George Lehman's ClarionMag article: Eliminating Circular DLL Calls
