   Borland C++ Compiler Trouble
  I''m trying to learn C++ as a first language, buut I''m having trouble compiling my *.cpp source code files into executables, I''m running Borland C/C++ Compiler version 5.5.I''m not 100% sure exactly whats going wrong, I''m using the syntax:C:\borland\bcc55\bin\bcc32 Myprog.cppthis calls up several errors like "Cannot include file iostream.h"I visited the Borland website to lookup the help files, FAQ''s and full documentation, they suggest using the syntax:C:\Borland\bcc55\bin\bcc32 -If:\Borland\bcc55\include -Lf:\Borland\bcc55\Lib Myprog.cppbut this still doesn''t work (It brings up the same errors), I''ve also tried copying the files it asks for into the same directory (Mistake, got about twety six errors as opposed to just three).Has anyone else come accross this problem ith the Borland compiler?How can I get it to work?PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE HELP ME!Would be most grateful if anyone can help, thanks in advance.Ally   Shiny!

I think the syntax should be:C:\Borland\bcc55\bin\bcc32 -IC:\Borland\bcc55\include -LC:\Borland\bcc55\Lib Myprog.cppI have a simple 3D engine written for the free BC++ compiler at http://apocalyx.sourceforge.net(there is even the VC++ version)If you want to try, a complex makefile to compile all the demos is included as well.--leo (coder of APOCALYX) [edited by - tetractys on August 7, 2003 10:13:33 AM];  Uhh, for future reference, you can just call me Timmy. THanks tetractys, that did it. That''s such an obvious mistake, still, could''ve been worse. Thank you!;  Did you read the readme.txt file? Just look at the beginning:quote: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" --{You fight like a dairy farmer!}
