Cant compile with borland c++

[ankit255]

Hi. I cant compile any source with borland c++ 5.5 compiler. I already had borland 5.5 installed with default settings and then installed code blocks as turbo doesn't work. How should i configure the compiler in codeblocks?
I need this for school.

That sounds funny since I've searched Google but didn't quite find an answer to "How to configure CodeBlocks to use borland as compiler?".
Nevertheless, thank you for presenting to us your suggestion.

Hi, i checked the topic but it doesn't deal with my question. I don't even get an error.Unless "failed" stands for one...
EDIT: Sorry for double post. I don't know how to quote two people in a single thread.

1. set the path to the executable!
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Borland_C.2B.2B_Compiler_5.5
a. Settings -> Compiler and Debugger
b. select compiler "Borland"
c. Set it as default
d. Tab "Tool Chain Exe.."
d2 Enter path to the Borland Bin Folder



2. Turn on full compiler logging!

3. Cut and paste the build log here; include all error messages.

Thanks. That didn't work but then i checked installation instructions and it compiled with a failure "unresolved external blah blah blah from C0X32.OBJ". This is being covered in another thread....

Did you use any of our project wizard? If not please try them.

Most likely cause (a guess, as you didn't provide much information) is that C:\Borland\BCC55\Lib needs to be added to linker command line.
