Borland TC++ 4.5

this is making me mad..
I have this code:

#include <C:\TCWIN45\INCLUDE\myinclude.h>
int main()
{
cout << "hello";
return 0;
}

it works fine in DevC++(which is why I added the whole path)

but the exact same code won't work in borland, it says it can't open the include file, and cout is undefined.... error #2 will be fixed if borland could use the file....
is there any option I can change to make this work??


BTW, the contents of myinclude.h is just some common includes I use, so far this is all it has.

#include <iostream.h>

Just use #include <myinclude.h>

You should never use absolute path names - just add the folder with the headers in to your includes path. BTW - use forward slashes.

thanks parksie,
but I tried that.. the only reason I used the absolute path is because I tried it in Dev C++, and it worked perfect, I tried the exact same code with and without the full path, in borland and it didn't work at all..

BTW, I would use MS or Dev C++ to compile my programs, but borlands EZWin (the white DOS-Like console thing) is much better looking than DOS...

Before you compile, type:

SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\TCWIN45\INCLUDE

Then use <myinclude.h> and see what happens (I can't remember the specifics for BC++ since I hate it)

why do you hate it?

[parksie]

Because:
a) The interface is clunky
b) The editor window is weird
c) It makes big EXEs
d) Project management is utterly screwed

Can anybody help me?

pleeeeease, they have the exact same compiler at school and it works fine..

I figured out my problem....

TC++ 4.5 is a compiler made for windows 3.1, and it doesn't support long file names,
so I just made the filename shorter, and it worked..


Thanks anyway...
