Found this on the Borland site (http://threads.borland.com/threads/t...631&view=short) don't know if it will help.

"Are you sure you did everything right!

In which directory did you install borland?

Did you type your compile-line correctly.

NOTE!

bcc32 -I(that's a large i not a small L) x(x=your drive):\borland\..."

Give Newbies a break!!!

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the reply. I unpacked Borland into the default C: directory. I did double check all the config data and its all correct likes it says in the book. Will check your link right now.

Nope that doesnt help

I will keep trying to get this to work. Thanks for the reply....

I have fixed it. Here is what you need to do if you are having the ilink.exe problem.

Open a console box.
1. Start | Run...
2. Type "command" into the field [Enter]

* If Windows 95/98:
Navigate to the root in order to modify the PATH reference in the autoexec.bat file.
3. Type "cd" [Enter]
4. Type "edit autoexec.bat" [Enter]
5. Insert a line and type "PATH=C:\BORLAND\BCC55\BIN;%PATH%"
6. Save the changes (Alt-F then hit S).
7. Exit edit. (Alt+F then press X).

* If Windows NT:
Add a path reference to the Environment variables:
3. Using the mouse, right-click on the "My Computer" icon (on your desktop) and choose "Properties".
4. Click on the "Environment" tab.
5. Click on "Path" in the "System Variables" field.
6. Highlight the "Path" System variable (bottom).
7. Click in the "Value" field.
8. Append the line with ";C:\BORLAND\BCC55\BIN;" (exactly 1 semi-colon between references)
9. Click on the "Set" button.
10. Click OK (in the "System Properties" window)

* Or, if Windows 2000/XP:
Add a path reference to the Environment variables:
3. Using the mouse, right-click on the "My Computer" icon (on your desktop) and choose "Properties".
4. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
5. Click on the "Environment Variables..." button.
6. Highlight the "Path" System variable (bottom).
7. Click on the "Edit..." button.
8. Append the line with ";C:\BORLAND\BCC55\BIN;"
9. Click OK (in the "Edit System Variables")
10. Click OK (in the "Environment Variables" window) and click OK (in the "System Properties" window) Navigating to the directory, "c:\Borland\bcc55\bin"


Cheers

Jeez,

Now when I have the file compiled where it says "hello world!" and I double click the test.exe file the CMD screen just flashes and doesnt actually show the words like in the book. When I run the cmd prompt and point it to the exe it just open up ultraedit...Grrrr

Nevermind...

Anyone know how to use gcc 4.0 compiler for linux and want to give so clue how to do that?

I'm having trouble just getting my path in the "my computer" properties set. I have two windows in my environment variables a User and System. Which one am I changing. I've actually added a new one in each and the command is stil not recognizing the bcc32 command. And I'm also still getting the "Unable to open include file 'iostream.h' " error when I use the full path in the command prompt.

I also had the same problem with include iostream.h, even if I add that path in environment variables.
Any help would be great.

Oh, finally, the problem was the extensions of bcc32 and ilink32 cfg, as someone mentioned it. It's quite an effort it to change in windows xp. thanks
