Borland C++ 5.5 Command line...

[Benjamin]

I use Borland C++ 5.5 to compile some of my apps,
but I don't know how to make the compiler generate an executable with a different file name than the cpp file...

it says:


Specify executable file name

(Command-line switch = -efilename)




but that doesn't work...

I try:

bcc32 test -etest2


it just generates test.exe


:confused:

Have your tried.

1. Shooting it.

2. Setting it on Fire.

3. The C++ forum somewhere on this site.

[Benjamin]

1. yes
2. yes
3. not many people use borlands compiler, most use MS

[Benjamin]

Ok, for all those who are curious, I found the solution



bcc32 -eNewFileName.exe OldFileName.cpp

We use symatexs apparently so no help there. Try logging into Borland's site and see if they have a help desk.
