Search for Declare in this forum using my username, and I think the thread is called "DLL".

That? BTW, I'm not using VC++, but Borland Turbo C++ 4.5 (16-bit).

Yes that's it.

You can't make Win32 DLLs using TC++.

I like the IDE in BCPP45, so is there a command line compiler that I can download to compile my DLLs?

Why not get the free command line tools from Borland? 5.5 (32-bit)

I thought you needed MS compilers to do DLLs. 'Kay.

**parksie** · Aug 21st, 2001, 03:43 PM

Nope, you need a 32-bit Windows compiler

**abdul** · Aug 21st, 2001, 03:57 PM

Borland C++ builder is better than its C++ command line tool.
You can download it here

You shouldn't really post links like that

But why is there a problem with command line tools?

**abdul** · Aug 21st, 2001, 06:20 PM

It is a kind of hard to you and does not have an IDE.

I edited my post now and removed the link.

An IDE isn't the most necessary thing in the world

All you need is just to go bcc32 main.cpp

(well, with a couple more options, but you can make batch files, makefiles, and all sorts
