SDL 1.2.5 and newer have projects for C++ Builder 5 and 6 for Windows, Kylix 3, and the free Borland C++ command line tools. Take a look at Borland.html in the source archive. For both Watcom C/C++ and Borland C/C++ the compiler option that makes enums having the size of an int must be enabled. This is "-b" for Borland C/C++ and "-ei" for Watcom C/C++ (v11). You still need the SDL_MAIN.LIB file, so that you don't need to define WinMain() and all that junky windows stuff. You have no .

Currently there is no support in the IDE for older Borland or Microsoft compilers. Debugging is fully supported with the Paradigm C++ integrated debugger. See similar questions...

The only major feature that doesn't work out of the box is the Specialized SQL Structures. It can't work as-is due to a compiler limitation. A full discussion of the problem and possible workarounds is in this mailing list message. We do not ship BCBuilder project files with the package, and we likely never will, for a couple of reasons. See similar questions...

Eventually, but Borland support isn't currently scheduled. If our customers want support for Borland or any other compiler, we will provide that support. In the meantime, we are concentrating on making InstantC for Windows as productive as possible. See similar questions...

wxWindows is a graphical user interface library which creates windows, buttons, menus etc. The nice thing with wxWindows is, it is a cross-platform library and the same code can be compiled on Linux, Windows and Macintosh systems. Basically this is what Java has been for gGo, the basic framework for the whole program. See similar questions...

So you have the choice ! I use LCC-Win32, and only compiled with Borland C/C++ in case I'll need C++. A few functions need recent system DLLs (such as comctl32.dll) to fully work. Try to install IE3 (at least). Make sure you have the good version on this PC (try 'get.about', this procedure shows an about box that shows the version). Magic did not find the DLL. The best place to put Magic DLLs is in your Magic folder (the same place as you mmgenw.exe or mgrntw.exe). See similar questions...

There are, however several 16-bit DOS extenders that you could use -- Phar Lap, Borland's PowerPack, and, of course our DOS/16M. Some versions of a program from Novell called TCPIP.EXE, a real mode program, will cause the high words of EAX and EDX to be altered during a hardware interrupt. This bug breaks protected mode software (and other real mode software that uses the 80386 registers). Novell has released a newer version of TCPIP that fixes the problem. See similar questions...

Yes, Christopher Kohlhoff (chris@kohlhoff.com) has developed these and made them available at http://www.tenermerx.com/programming/corba/tao_bcb/using/index.html . MFC Libraries are libraries built with the ACE_HAS_MFC variable defined. See What issues are involved when using MFC with ACE/TAO? for more details of what this means. The OCI-produced binary installation kits do not contain MFC libraries for Windows platforms. See similar questions...

GNU C++ ("g++" or "GCC"): gcc.gnu.org/. Note: there are two versions precompiled for Win32: Cygwin and minGW. If anyone has other suggestions that should go into this list, please let me know; thanks; (cline@parashift.com)]. See similar questions...

Yes I can--I've written an article (complete with pictures) that will guide you through the process. It's my September 2001 article and can be found here.

Currently DLL to Lib can only generate COFF-format static libraries. Since Borland C++ and Watcom C++ use Intel's OMF-format libraries. You must convert the static libraries generated by DLL to Lib into OMF format before using them in Borland C++ or Watcom C++. See similar questions...

C++ is a superset of something, we're not sure what. You can use a C++ compiler to compile C code, but the results may surprise you. See similar questions...

You sure can. There really are two ways. You can use it directly, or through one of the C++ wrappers for Motif. Much of this is discussed in the Motif FAQ which can be found at Ken Lee's website at http://www.rahul.net/~kenton Using LessTif directly with C++ prompts the question on how to use class member functions as callbacks.

Note first of all that we support only Microsoft Visual C++, so we are not able to provide help about other compilers. If you want to use to Use WinPcap under C++ Builder (version 5.0), you have to use the program COFF2OMF.EXE which can be find in the directory of BORLAND. This program gives the possibility to convert Packet.lib and wpcap.lib (which are in the Visual C++ standart, COFF) to the OMF standart, the one of C++ Builder. For more information type COFF2OMF in the Help of C++ Builder. See similar questions...

You can modify the editor configuration file (AE.CFG), or write a simple batch file. Click here for more details. See similar questions...

Since the output of InstantC for Windows is a debugged, formatted C program, you can use it with any compiler for Windows programs. Since InstantC is an ISO C compiler, if your programs use only the Standard C libraries, you can use InstantC with any compiler. We have several customers who use InstantC on a PC to work on programs that run on UNIX. See similar questions...

No, C# has no direct equivalent of the C++ typedef. C# does allow an alias to be specified via the using keyword: using IntList = System.Collections.Generic.List<int>; but the alias only applies in the file in which it is declared. A workaround in some cases is to use inheritance: public class IntList : List<int> { } See similar questions...

Yes, in fact exceptions are the recommended error-handling mechanism in C# (and in .NET in general). Most of the .NET framework classes use exceptions to signal errors. See similar questions...

No, you should not use a rechargeable battery with your Seiko Cleancut and here's why. The speed of any DC motor is directly related to the voltage of the power supply; the higher the voltage the faster the motor turns. By their nature rechargeable batteries do not have as high a voltage as alkaline batteries. For instance a fresh alkaline "C" cell, which is a 1.5 volt battery, will test out as high as 1.6 volts right out of the package. See similar questions...
