Getting Borland C++ compiler to work on CB

[diego_pmc]

On sait depuis longtemps que travailler avec du texte lisible et contenant du sens est source de distractions, et empêche de se concentrer sur la mise en page elle-même. L'avantage du Lorem Ipsum sur un texte générique comme 'Du texte. Du texte. Du texte.' est qu'il possède une distribution de lettres plus ou moins normale, et en tout cas comparable avec celle du français standard.

Did you add the needed Libs?

Turn on full Compiler Logging

I had the same problem, I couldn't compile in the command line but not in Code::Blocks IDE, even after creating files bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg, so I tried the following:
Settings>> Compiler and debuggers... >> linker settings
and under "link libraries" box I clicked "Add" button and I went to directory "C:\Borland\BCC55\Lib" and added all the files that were visible ( Library files (*.a, *.so, *.lib, *.dyl) and now I can compile from CB IDE using Borland compiler.

The .cfg I am using once or twice a year.
My Borland  Installation is in folder "D:\GreenApps\BCC61"; this would need to be adjust to match your installation folder.

I have been trying bcc32 a few times a year for over a decade; I find setting up the cfg files is faster than configuring all the settings in Code::Blocks. Both methods work.

Note, I am usually doing very simple Borland coding projects.

I just started with Code::Blocks and run in de same problem.
I 've concluded the following:

In the Menu: Settings. Compiler. Global compiler settings. Linker settings: in the colom Link Libraries,
1) I had to fill in all the (paths) to the individual libs.
2) The order matters i.e. first the files in ..\BC55\Lib\PSDK\ .. and after that de files in ..\BC55\Lib\.. ( the paths to the directories doesn't work!) .  :

Thats how I solved the problem.
