[Dev-C++] using borland or other compiler on 4.9.6.0

[Carl F. <de...@st...>]

Hi, 

I'm trying to set up Dev-C++ to use the borland cbuilder 5.5 compiler.
I'm running win98 (rel. 2)
Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0

I have set the compiler directories to point to the relevent bcc55
directories, but when it comes to setting the program filenames, I'm not
sure which bcc55 ones corresond to the gcc names.

The filenames needing set are,
gcc, g++, make, gbd, windres, dllwrap, gprof

The contents of my \Bcc55\Bin directory are,
bcc32.exe, brc32.exe, brcc32.exe, builtins.mak, cc3250.dll, cc3250mt.dll,
coff2omf.exe, cpp32.exe, fconvert.exe, grep.exe, ilink32.exe, impdef.exe,
implib.exe, lnkdfm50.dll, make.exe, rlink32.dll, rw32core.dll, tdump.exe,
tlib.exe, touch.exe, trigraph.exe

I think that,
gcc should be set to bcc32.exe
g++ should be set to cpp32.exe
make should be set to make.exe
windres should be set to ws32.exe ???
but can't figure out any others.

I've been searching google for explanations of each file, to try figure it
out myself, but haven't come across anything.
Any help with this would be _most_ appreciated!

(if anyone has done this already, a copy'n'paste of your DVCPP.ini file
would be great!)

I posted this question to the dev-cpp-users forum at sourceforge several
days ago, but received no reply.
My apologies to anyone that has had to read this twice.

  In your Borland directory you shall have a help file where it tells 
you what is each executable there.
Here some tips, yes, I imagine you already know that, but anyway:
Your suppositions are right (but not sure about windres equivalence, for 
resource files)
gdb is the debugger, its equivalent is TD32.exe
dllwrap is for building dlls.
gprof is the profiler

ilink32 is the linker, the equivalent of gcc's ld; coff2omf is for 
convert lib files in coff format (the one used by mingw) to omf (the one 
used by borland). trygraph sounds to be the profiler.

I forgot to say that for borland the options are not identical, the -o 
of mingw is -e in borland (or another depending on which kind of file 
you're building), so I don't know wheter it could work, I'm afraid it 
won't. It seems that option is primarily for switch between different 
versions of mingw and cygwin

Hello Carl,

On Win98SE, I have used Dev-C++ together with the "freecommandlinetools" 
of Borland. Version of Dev was 4.9.6.0, while the Borland compiler was
named BC++ 5.5 (hope it is the same you call "cbuilder 5.5").

I placed a few notes, about my approach, at the page:
www.gisan.freeurl.com  (once there follow the link named "dev_bor")

A brief remark is due: I should be considered a newbie and my experience 
is limited to simple console applications, so information I was able to 
provide, about using Dev-C++ and BC++ 5.5, is the answer to these 2 
questions:
- how do I compile a program like "hello world"?
- how do I compile a program whose source code is in more than one file?

Hopefully, my answers can get you started :-)
