Hi there,

Once you have downloaded the 'FreeCompilerTools.exe' file run it
and follow the prompts on the screen. After this becuase BC++ 5.5
is command line only you may want to configure your path so that
compiling programs the compiler/linker/libraries can be found.

Step 1: Modify your path environment variable to include C:\BC55\BIN
(or whereever you installed BC++5.5)

Win9x: C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
WinNT;Win2K: Control Panel -> System Settings ->
Environment

Step 2: In the C:\BC55\BIN directory create two files BCC32.CFG and
TLINK.CFG

And in BCC32.CFG Copy the following lines (this is so the compiler knows
where to find
your include and library files)

-IC:\BC55\INCLUDE
-LC:\BC55\LIB

And in TLINK32.CFG Copy the following line (for the same reason)

-LC:\BC55\LIB

If you have any normal command line options put them there as well.

And thats all there is to it!

I hope this helps,

Robert

William, please do not scream. (Writing in all UPPERCASE is screaming).
Thank you.

Compile the application, then run it as any other application.

In notepad, use the file name

"yourfile.cpp"

*with* the quotation marks. If you use

yourfile.cpp

you will get

yourfile.cpp.txt

Thank you *so* much, Microsoft.

Or, patch Notepad (make a backup first), by change the TXT or txt into
CPP or cpp with a hex editor. Save it as CppEdit.exe or so.
