I have downloaded the latest version available of Borland C++ 5.5 compiler. I have installed the exe file but the program doesn't run.
I have got this in READ ME file of the installation package but I cant make out anything..
Installing and running the Command Line Tools
Run freecommandlinetools.exe; choose the drive and folder into which you want to install the free C++Builder 5 command line tool development system.
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"
Please help me to understand this.
Borland 5.5 is an extremely old compiler.
It doesn't even implement std::string properly.
Use a more modern compiler, like g++ or Visual C++ (they're both free).
Cheers & hth.,
