Article #21584: BCC55 (BCC32) Installation

Question:


Answer:

Installing BCC55
-----------------------------------------------
*Note: This is a DOS Style Command Line compiler Only

For Instructions on "How to" use the compiler, see
the Readme.txt in the bcc55 folder which will be
created in the Borland folder after Step 1.

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. Add "c:BorlandBcc55" to the existing path.
   If you are unsure of your ability to safely
   alter your path, find someone competent to
   do so.

   a. Start -> Run -> Sysedit (Click OK).
   b. Start a new line at the end of your path
      statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
   c. Type "SET PATH=%PATH%;c:BorlandBcc55;%PATH%"
      without the quotation marks.
   d. Close the System Configuration Editor and
      Save the changes.
   
3. From the bin directory of your installation:
   a. Use Notepad to 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:BorlandBcc55include"
      -L"c:BorlandBcc55lib"
   b. Use Notepad to create an ilink32.cfg file which 
      will set the linker option for the Lib path by 
      adding this line:
      -L"c:BorlandBcc55lib"

   For 'How to' questions that are not covered in
the Readme.txt, post inquiries to the newsgroup:
"borland.public.cpp.commandlinetools".
