Thread: Help!

I am new to this whole thing
ah
i have recently tried to compile different programs, but for some
reason i get the error saying that #include <stdio.h> is invalid
here is how i have been going about compiling them:
i go into the command prompt, change my dir to the location of bcc32.exe, then i type in bcc32.exe -c prog name.
i think i am just going about it wrong
could someone please post a reply telling me how to compile a program using Borland 5.5?
please
by the way: i know that it is not a programming error because the code i try to compile is from a book, so it not wrong
please

Who says it isn't? Maybe the book uses a different compiler?
Try compiling a code wich you know for sure is a specificly code
writtin in and for the Borland 5.5 compiler.

And don't use titles like 'help!' or 'read this!'.

The compiler came with the book
that is why i am pretty sure it is not the program

here is what i got even after doing cfg:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Programming\Bin>bcc32.exe FIG02_01
.c
Borland C++ 5.5 for Win32 Copyright (c) 1993, 2000 Borland
FIG02_01.C:
Warning W8065 FIG02_01.C 7: Call to function 'printf' with no prototype in funct
ion main
Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland
what does that mean? this is a program from the book, but here is code:
/* Fig. 2.1: fig02_01.c
A first program in C */


int main( void )
{
printf( "Welcome to C!\n" );

return 0;
}
it is very simple, that why i picked it
but i don't know what wrong

what that do?

Add the bold stuff to your program :-)

Code:

/* Fig. 2.1: fig02_01.c
A first program in C */
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
  printf( "Welcome to C!\n" );

  return 0;
}

what that do?

=

duh....

The code i posted was one that i edited, and i thought you were just saying that i needed to make that bold, misunderstanding.
i know you should include that, but it said it wrong, so i took out and saved then tried again and never reverted it back
sorry
