Problems installing Borland C++ Builder Compiler

• Posted by rforno at tutopia.com May 11, 2001

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?

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.
