in thread Perl & borland 5.5 C/C++ Compiler
Actually my suggestion to use cl.exe is possibly valid, but simply based on the fact that IMHO it works better so I use it. With cl.exe come the header and library files you need to link apps under windows. These are of course the M$ versions. When you get BCC you get Borlands take on these files, which IME have issues. Windows has issues period, but you get less using the M$ native compiler, headers and libs.
*However* if you had read my post properly you would have noted that the minimum flags case includes -DWIN32 which you fail to do......if I leave it out it chokes as we will be trying to compile non win32 code (well skipping the kludges - or whatever). The errors are slightly different but I suggest it might work if you add that define.
