#71 Borland compilation broken
Borland compilation has been broken for quite a while.
I've been able to make some changes that allow cppunit
to be build using Borland C++ 5.6.4 (the build with
C++BuilderX) which I expect will work with some earlier
versions.
There were a couple of issues:
BorlandLinker.prepareArguments had an obsolete
signature which resulted in
CommandLinkLinker.prepareArguments being called. This
issue was reported in
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?
msg_id=6635089.
TLIB doesn't like being called with bogus arguments to
get version information. Since librarian version isn't
terribly significant, I've hard-coded
BorlandLibrary.getIdentifier() to return the string that
would be returned by the tlib included with C++BuilderX
bcc32 didn't like "bcc32 -?" to get version info, changed
to "bcc32 --version"
Looks like BorlandLibrarian was never more than a stub.
With these changes, cppunit can be built using bcc,
however the divide-by-zero behavior will cause a crash
of several of the sample applications that expected
divide-by-zero to result in an exception.
