I hope someone can help. I want to create a desktop shortcut to run my Borland command line compiler. (No it's not right click, send shortcut to desk top). I think you have to create a batch file???? Many thanx |

assuming you are using windows:
if you have setup borland 5.5 the right way you should beable to compile your code throught the command propmt. IF you can do that then do what i did. 1. make a folder for your code. 2. on your desktop make a new text file 3. in the file write this Quote:
Quote:
4. file>save file as>file name "compile.bat">save file type "All Files">save 5. make a hello world program and save in your dir you made. save the name as the generic file name. 6. click on the compile.bat on your desktop. thats what i did. it works from me. if it doest work for you keep on posting. |

Yeh! I've got my BCC55 compiler shortcut up and running nicely now. The real problem is that I'm tied into a course in C++ which is using Borland Turbo C++ v4.5. Which I hoping to complete A.S.A.P. I've got "MS Visual Studio 6" which I've looked at and it seems like my course is'nt quite what it's made up to be. The reason why I have been using BCC55 is that its so easy to do textcolor() andand simple graphics.
Off the topic a bit..... I've trawled the net looking for good programming sites and this one is great. The people on here are freindly and very helpfull. I posted the same Q about BCC55 shortcut on another site and was told by a senior member that if I couldn't create a simple shortcut I shouldn't be developing software... Mmmmm! very helpfull I thought. After all everyone has to start somewhere. Once again Thanks for a great site Best Regards Vagabond |

MS Visual Studio 6 does not meet ANSI standards. running a MS Visual Studio 6 *.cpp file on a unix compiler will not work. MS Visual Studio 6 uses extra formating ASCII that is not in ASNI.
