Computer: Language: Compiler: C++: Borland: Compiler: Command: Line: Install: How to install the free Borland command line compiler? [download / bcc32.exe / parameter]

---

This is the same compiler as used in the older version of
Borland C++ Builder.

===

Steps: Overview:

 1. download the free command line compiler from www.borland.com.

     http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/21205

    then click on 'Borland C++ 5.5 Free Command-line Tools'

    Otherwise get the latest Embarcadero / Borland free command line compiler here:

     https://www.embarcadero.com/free-tools/ccompiler

 2. to install, after downloading, type on the command line:

     freecommandlinetools.exe

    then follow the instructions.

    This will create, by default, a directory:

      'c:\borland\bcc55'

 3. to find the compiler executable 'bcc32.exe',
    possibly add to the DOS environment PATH:

     SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\borland\bcc55\bin

    Note: adapt this file path to the conditions on
          your computer

 4. create e.g. the following batch file ( and save this
    e.g. as 'bcc55.bat' ):

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


     @REM: the following all on on line
     c:\borland\bcc55\bin\bcc32.exe -Ic:\borland\bcc55\include -Lc:\borland\bcc55\lib %1.cpp

     @IF errorlevel=1 GOTO fail

     %1.exe

     @GOTO end

     :fail

     @ECHO.

     @ECHO.

     @ECHO.

     @ECHO There where errors found while compiling your program.

     @ECHO.

     @ECHO Could not compile to .exe...

     @ECHO.

     @ECHO.

     :end

     @PAUSE

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 5. to compile and run, type on the command line:

      <your batch filename> <your cpp filename>

    e.g. to compile the file 'helloword.cpp', type:

       bcc55.bat helloworld

    e.g. to compile the file 'testaddress.cpp', type:

       bcc55.bat testaddress
