#183238 - Borland C++ compiler 5.5 |
One of my friends wanted a simple C++ compiler to check out some basic Console applications ( yes. assignment !)
I remembered there was this Watcom IDE but by the time I could explain the process of getting it up and running, he gave up. Then I had this idea to use the simple command line BCC32.exe which is available as a free download. All well so far but the laptop he has, runs on WIN-XP and there is some trouble to set the PATH variable to point to BCC32.exe. But I guess I know what to do here. The major problem is to redirect the output that compiler creates. It alwasy puts the EXE it creates into the BIN folder where the BCC32.exe resides. The list of complier options says you can set the output with a "-nxxxx" switch where xxxx is the required [PATH]filename. But that does not work. Anyone can throw some light on this ?? Incidentally are there any other C++ IDEs that can save my friend all this DOS work ?? ( The MSVC Express is too much for his need ..) Raghu |
