Simple C++ GUI programme does'nt run from dos

Actually I have made programme in C++ .The programme is using graphics functions. I want to Compile it from dos (cmd) using Tcc compiler. but when i compile it, it gives me linker errors about gui files. Although same programme Compiles correctly from C editor(IDE).

question is WHAT should I do ????????????.

I want to run it from Dos (its very essential)

tanx .

please answer as quickly as possible

Are you linking the correct libs?

What graphics functions are you using? What are you using for graphics?

I don't know if this will be of any help...

If you have C-Editor configured to invoke your Tcc compiler, then assuming everything is set-up properly, the results should be identical from the command line and the IDE.

There are Windows IDE compilers that can create DOS applications, and command line compilers (The free Borland compiler) that can make windows applications.

Not all compilers can make true-DOS applications. For example, Microsoft Visual C++ can make a console application that runs in a DOS-like window, but these applications will not run on a true-DOS machine.

Graphics are NOT part of the ISO/ANSI C++ standard. Every compiler has different graphics functions. You can't use the graphics library from one compiler in another compiler. See the FAQ There are 3rd party libraries that work with multiple compilers (OpenGL).

Finally, anybody who thinks any GUI application is simple probably doesn't need any help from me. :)

From what I remember about Turbo C++ and its graphics, you need to copy those .BGI (Borland Graphics Interface) files to the same folder your .exe is present in. These files otherwise would be present in the BGI subfolder of your TC compiler.

Furthermore, if you are using Fonts provided by Borland, you need to copy those .CHR files to the executable folder too.

Basically, you have to specify the 'path' of the Graphic library files you'd be using. You can either specify this in the source itself (and put .BGI files in a different folder relative to the executable), or simply put the .BGI files in the same folder as executable.
