Borland C++ Installation

hi,

i am having trouble installing Borland C++ to my Win32 machine. i'm not being able to configure the compiler to see the directories. it only runs in the bin directory, and doesnt see some of the libraries.

i added the bin directory to the path.

my bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg files look like below. they're both at the bin directory:

bcc32.cfg
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
-P
-v-

ilink32.cfg
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib; c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib\PSDK"
-v-
-x

i added the last 2 lines to these files after some internet search on this subject. my path definitions didnt work with bcc32.cfg looking like
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

and
ilink32.cfg
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib; c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib\PSDK"

out of this, it is not seeing some of the libraries-- math.h and time.h, etc.

this muct be a trivial problem but burned so much time on it and not getting anywhere. i'd appreciate the help.

One minor detail (just in case), remove the space between the two paths in the ilink32.cfg file:
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib;c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib\PSDK"
-v-
-x


You said you added the bin directory to the PATH variable... so if you open a prompt anywhere, you can run bcc32, correct? How did you set your path?

I'm also using BCC 5.5.1, and I had no problems yet.
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"


These must be pointing to where you have extracted the programme.
ie: first one must point to the include folder @ the location in which u extracted the compiler
