Programming Tutorials (2 of 4): Installing the Borland C Compiler

[bicarbane]

Why aren't the two cfg files created during the installation?

[snietfeld]

@bicarbane

I honestly have no idea. Possibly to force the user to find out exactly where standard libraries would be imported from. Seems like a bit of an unnecessary pain though, doesn't it?

[computertrick]

fuck theirs a glitch in the setup package.... if your using the E: drive it says you require 50 mb of data

[mcjapzta]

where's the third part of the tutorial?

[markcuibus1997]

do i need emacs for this?

[snietfeld]

No, not at all. You could just write the sample program in something like notepad.

[bhittani]

@snietfeld i setup every thing told in your last video but .. how to open editor for c++ mode . i means open file to open a writen file or new text area . like we can see in your emacs in this video .. my text goes white please help me ..

will i have trouble with this if im running (dont laugh) vista 64 bit os?

[saturndesign07]

it doesnt worked for me by the way. i cant understand the way he uses the path in my computer. can anybody help me?

[plasticact]

Good vid. What do you type into emacs at 5:50 and just after to enable you to start writing the C file in the shell?

[snietfeld]

I've added annotations to make that a little more clear.

Ctrl-x Ctrl-f : Opens new file

Ctrl-x Ctrl-s : saves current buffer

Ctrl-x b : switches to the next buffer on the screen.

oh and be sure to put bcc32 in front of the code

[Hugerfamilyguyfan]

nvm, i got it, and uvinem try to compile your program with this code:

-IC:\Borland\bcc55\include -LC:\Borland\bcc55\Lib yourprogram.c

it worked for me

[Hugerfamilyguyfan]

What is the original variable value for PATH, b/c I got something totally different than windows/system32...

[snietfeld]

Your PATH variable will probably be different from what mine. Just tack on a semicolon and the path to the borland compiler to the end of it. We're not replacing anything.

[breakink]

What happens if I did replace it ,and didnt add it? how do I get the old path back?

the video is very cool;) but i have a problem understandin what you are doning afer the syntax.what do you type in the run tab? please reply me i really what to lear c++ tnx

[snietfeld]

I'm just typing 'emacs' to start the emacs editor. You might check out my other video for setting that up, or you could just as easily written the code in notepad and compiled it from another command prompt.
