Is it possible to create C++ easywin applications on C++ builder?

I need a free proggy (preferably borland) that will let me do this to enable me to do my uni work at home....

there must be someone who knows this????

Iv posted a number of threads in this forum that are simple questions, yet no one replys.. I see other threads by other people that are more complex questions which yield several replys..what is going on??

Patience young Padawan....

Borland DO offer their compiler and command-line utilities for free on their website at:

However, whether it will do what you need I can't say, been that long since I did any C++ coding with anything that isnt gcc

The programme we use in uni (borland c++ 5.02 or 5.05) when you create a new project, you have the option to create an easywin application which is what we are using..

I can also use a console application (dos) iv tried creating this in c++ builder but i just get error messages when i try to compile and run..

have you tried emailing your lecturer for how to get it set up at home? it's possible they have a copy they can give to students, much like microsoft's academic alliance?

Right then, I've never used borland C++ builder so I can't help you with the 'easywin' application. VIsual Studio does have a simpilar 'new application wizard' type of thing but it won't edit the files for you. what I would sugest (if you can't get hold of the IDE you are using at school, at home) is that you create your 'easywin' application, save all the files to a memory stick / zip + E-Mail / CD-Rom / floppy disk and take them home. This should be able to be built by a command line command to the borland compiler.

what error messges are you getting? What command are you issueing? What files have you got in your project?
