Following this, you will find the text in README.TXT for the compiler. The file freecommandlinetools.exe is not found anywhere. Moreover, the reference to "the bin directory of your installation" is by no means clear, and the creation of files bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg does not specify where to do that. Can somebody provide help on this? This file contains important supplementary and late-breaking information that may not appear in the main product documentation. We recommend that you read this file in its entirety. CONTENTS -- PRODUCT NOTES AND ISSUES -- ONLINE HELP -- PRODUCT INFORMATION ON THE WEB PRODUCT NOTES AND ISSUES Installing and running the Command Line Tools 1. Run freecommandlinetools.exe; choose the drive and folder into which you want to install the free C++Builder 5 command line tool development system. 2. From the bin directory of your installation: a. Add "c:\Borland\Bcc55" to the existing path b. Create a bcc32.cfg file which will set the compiler options for the Include and Lib paths (-I and -L switches to compiler) by adding these lines: -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include" -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib" c. Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set the linker option for the Lib path by adding this line: -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib" Other product notes "PSDK" (\lib\PSDK) is an acronym for the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit.

You need to download the freecommandlinetools.exe from the Borland web site. Its 8748Kb in size. http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/ That is the installation program. Assuming you install the compiler in... c:\borland\bcc55 then create the two CFG files in this directory, then add to the DOS path (in the c:\autoexec.bat file) c:\borland\bcc55\bin In my case, I installed to my F: drive and here is my PATH statement... Here is where I put the CFG files ... F:\Borland\bcc55>dir *.cfg Volume in drive F has no label Volume Serial Number is 1EE2-2152 Directory of F:\Borland\bcc55 BCC32 CFG 56 08/12/00 12:07 bcc32.cfg ILINK32 CFG 26 08/12/00 12:07 ilink32.cfg 2 file(s) 82 bytes 0 dir(s) 1,677,041,664 bytes free Here is the contents of my bcc32.cfg file... -I"f:\Borland\bcc55\include" -L"f:\Borland\bcc55\lib" Here is the contents of my ilink32.cfg file... -L"f:\Borland\bcc55\lib" ------ Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia "To finish a job quickly, go slower." ----- Original Message ----- From: <rforno at tutopia.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2001 1:46 AM Subject: Problems installing Borland C++ Builder Compiler > > > Following this, you will find the text in README.TXT for the compiler. > The file freecommandlinetools.exe is not found anywhere.
