Thread: really noobish problem

hi i have problems running this program :

Code:

#include <graphic.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main (void)

{



/* request auto detection */

   int gdriver =DETECT,gmode,errorcode;
int xmax,ymax;

/* intialize grafics and local variables */
initgraph(&gdriver,gmode,"");

/* read result of initialization*/
errorcode = graphresult();
/* if an error ocurred */
if (errorcode !=gr0k)

{
printf("Grephics error:%s \n",grapherrormsg(errorcode));
printf("press any key to halt:");
getch();
exit(1);

}
setolor(getmaxcolor());
xmax= getmaxx();
ymax = getmaxy();

/*draw diagonal line*/
line (0,xmax,ymax);

/*clean up*/
getch;
closegraph();
return 0;
}

when i try to running it appears this error :

11 D:\aspel\koi.cpp `DETECT' undeclared (first use this function)


im using DEV-C++

WHAT AM I DOING WORNG =?? i tried with visual c++ but it says:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'graphic.h': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

i dont even know how to install the graphic.h library please help
than you in advanced

and what about the libraries can anyone tell me how to install em=?? and how can i run it if its and old borlnad code ...maybe with a borland compiler any recommendations=???

Or maybe just use the dev-c++ package manager to download LibSDL (see http://www.libsdl.org/index.php) and start using more capable graphics and leave that old fossil where it belongs, in the history museum.

Indeed. "very old' isn't an exaggeration. The Borland Graphics Interface that this code reeks of was around in at least 1987, if not earlier. It became obsolete when MS-DOS did.
