Getting Started with Borland C++ Free Command Line Tools and Turbo Debugger
Instructions on how to setup the following Tools in TextPad:
top
To Install Borland's Free Command Line Tools:
Run freecommandlinetools.exe
Then, on the root of your c drive,
- Add the following to the end of your c:\autoexec.bat
set path=%path%;c:\Borland\Bcc55
Then, in your C:\Borland\bcc55\Bin directory,
- Create a file called 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"
- Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set
the linker option for the Lib path by
adding this line:
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
Finally, install the turbo debugger to the same location.
