Article #28829: VCL errors resulting when trying to compile/make/run command-line application
Question:
I'm trying compile and run my command-line application with Borland C++ Builder, but I'm getting some VCL errors. Is there a way to get rid of these errors?
Answer:
Yes. Make sure you save your source code to a file, then do a "File...Close All" from within C++Builder. Then, from the project creation wizard, select "console app". When the Console App wizard appears, make sure that the "use VCL" checkbox is UN-CHECKED. Then create the project. At that point you can either copy...paste your source code into a new .c/.cpp file in the project, or simply add your already existing source file to the project, and you should no longer get the "VCL..." error(s).
