I started C programming about 4 years ago and I was using DJGPP. Needless to say that was a long time ago and I'm starting up again. However, now I have WinXP and DJGPP doesn't seem to want to work. I've downloaded Borland 6.0*, now this seems like a pretty good program, but I can't seem to make a simple C program. Is Borland only for C++? I just want to get a good compiler so I can start learning again, any suggestions?

What is the problem you are encountering? Not that I can help you with Boreland, but if you ask a better question, you'll most likely get a better answer.

Good luck mahn!

Well, I guess my question is, can I learn to program C like I started many years ago in DOS, or does borland only do C++. I can't figure out what to use in Borland. I just want to learn dammit:D
you can program either C or C++ in borland.
What simple program can't you get working? If you post the code we could check it for you to see if its a syntax error.
I mean I can't figure out how to get it working. You select new, then c file right? Then just type in a simple program. uhm, I guess this for exampleQuote:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("Hello world");
}
Then I build the project and when I go to run it...Nothing happens. The screen blips for a sec but I see no output. Sometimes I get a blank form screen that pops up.
When I compile this code, I get the following:Quote:

Rough interpretation: void main() must DIEEEEE!!!!!!Quote:

Where is Salem's avatar when you need it. :)
Ripxtide,
If you are still waiting for an answer on this well here goes. You can use the c++ compiler and it will do a respectable job on you work.
... but that doesn't make the code correct, nor will it help with the disappearing console window when (s)he executes the program.Quote:

(Hint: you need to pause the program at the end of it.)
Okay, well how about this
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hey");
delay(100);
return 0;
}
I tried this and I still get nothing. Give me some output damnit!

Read about pausing your program in the faq. (... with getch() )
Alternatively, get to a DOS prompt, and navigate your way to where your program is, and run it from the command line. The window won't close at all if you do it this way.
Forget it, I just downloaded dev-c++ and everything is cool. Now I can program.
