Hi,
Can anyone please help me find the classic blue screen IDE for borlandc++. I have got the compiler and debugger but not the IDE where i can write new code. I'm using borland c++ 5.5. Please help I'm unable to find it.

Thanx

It is fairly difficult to find that old IDE due to the fact that Borland has been updated numerous times and so on and so forth however if you would like a good IDE that uses borland to compile than I would suggest using Bloodshed's Dev C++ IDE this is a very good IDE that you can actually change the color coding to that of the traditional Borland Compiler if you wish. As far as finding the traditional Borland IDE I can't help you I've tried looking for it and I don't even think Borland has it anymore but try Dev C++ it's awesome

You can follow the links to download either version 4 or 5

I use 5 some choose 4 because 5 is still "Beta" but I have yet to have any issues with it

Thanx a lot... i downloaded it and it sure is a good interface... speaking of borland c++...
i tried out the examples and they executed successfully but i am having a problem compiling another project of mine...
it gives me the error about the makefile i.e "multiple target patterns. Stop."
i havn't worked with makefile before so i am unable to figure out the problem...
can somebody plz help...!

I can help you but in order to understand exactly what the problem is I will need you to post your source code

I have multiple heaader and source files in the project and i cannot upload the source due to some reason... i don't know what to do ...
well, if there's some website on learning how to write a make file or something or if u can tell me that will be really helpfull..
i searched for it but couldn't find anything...:(
thnx

Well you see it may not be the make file. It may be a small error in the source code that you are over looking and the error is changing the make file. My suggestion since you can't post your code would be to debug the code line by line using the IDE and if you still can't find it try to find the smallest area of the that has the error and post it. Otherwise I would just manually copy and paste your code unless there is a security issue
