Hi,

I am having trouble getting my borland 5.5 C compiler to work properly through Textpad. When I set up my tools to run bcc32.exe, it compiles the program but crashes on the linking. I get an error to the effect of:

Error E2133: Unable to execute command 'ilink32.exe'

in the Command results window.

If I compile the program from a DOS prompt, it all works nicely, so I know it's just an issue w/ getting Textpad to properly execute the linker, not a problem w/ the compiler itself.

If anyone has run into this problem and knows the solution, I'd *greatly* appreciate some help with this.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

BCC works OK for me, when the tool is configured as follows:

Command: <full path to>\bcc32.exe
Parameters: -q $File
Initial Folder: $FileDir
Capture Output: checked
Regular Expression: ^\(Error\|Warning\) [^ ]+ \(.+\) \([0-9]+\):
File Register: 2
Line Register: 3

Note that the regular expression has a trailing space.

By omitting the -c parameter, the compiler chains to the linker, to build the EXE file. I have installed BCC in a folder with no spaves in its name, and I have not added that to my PATH environment variable.

I hope this helps.
