Re: Problems installing Borland C++ Builder Compiler

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"
