if you got the borland 5.5 compiler for free (eg. downloaded from the borland website) then there is no IDE, it is a command line compiler.
well yes,i have got the
free one,so how can i configure
that,have no clue......
readme is not of much use.
There is a free IDE that works with Borland C++ 5.5.
The URL is:
http://www.objectcentral.com/
From the website:
VIDE has very good support for the free Borland command line compiler tools. It can build Console, GUI, and static library project files. It also includes some extra documentation about the Borland environment. VIDE also supports Borland's Turbo Debugger TD32.
You also need to set up your .cgf files. there is a faq on that. else
in notepad put these lines.
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Lib"
then save as "bcc32.cfg"
same with linker
C:\borland\bcc55\bin>type bcc32.cfg
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Lib"
C:\borland\bcc55\bin>type ilink32.cfg
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
C:\borland\bcc55\bin>
thanks kryptkat for ur help,
created those two files in the bin folder
when i typed bcc32.cfg in cmd
it gave windows cannot open the file and
does the ilink32.cfg contains
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
or shud i put the line -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\Include" also
same error is giving in the ilink32.cfg file
plz help
C:\borland\bcc55\bin>type ilink32.cfg
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
C:\borland\bcc55\bin>
> when i typed bcc32.cfg in cmd
You dont RUN the CFG file, it's there for the compiler to read.
You type
bcc32 prog.c
Which if you've done the job properly of
- creating the CFG files.
- put D:\BCC32\BIN in your PATH environment variable
Oh look, yet another FAQ
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284351
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
thanks salem
followed the faq,
made the cfg and batch file
but when i am loading the Bcc5.5
it's getting loaded with the path
showing to the borland/bcc55/bin
but then it shows too many parameters
then when i type bcc32
it says bad command
is it happening due to the too many parameters message.
plz help
Re-read the instructions carefully, and reboot?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.

you have to cd to the dir that the bcc32 is in.
make a shourtcut to C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
then start in C:\borland\bcc55\bin
and that will give you a shourtcut to the dir that bcc32 is in. bcc32 is not a .com so your command has to find it.
C:\borland\bcc55\bin> bcc32 file.c
thanks salem and kryptkat
i am able to compile and run the file,
for that i have to move to the bin
folder and keep the files there.
so can't i keep the files in some other folders
for e.g. myfiles(as shown in the faq) then
complie the file form that folder.
> for that i have to move to the bin
That simply means you've messed up (or failed) to set the PATH variable.
Follow that bit of the instructions again for your operating system. There's no reason why you should need to do what you're doing.

You can keep your files anywhere you want or be cd to what ever dir you want. I thought that if you was cd to c:\borland\bcc55\bin> it would be easyer for you untill you were more experienced with the compiler bcc32.exe
if you are cd to c:\> you can call the compiler by adding the path to your commands. and your files. look in to path and cd.
