ilink32.exe error message

Post by beekman1 »

I just downloaded and installed Textpad 4.7 and Boreland C++ Command Line Compiler. I followed the instructions I was given with everything working fine in Windows Vista. When I tried to compile a program I'm working on, the error message I get is "Error E2133: Unable to execute command 'ilink32.exe'". It seems to not allow my program to be updated with the changes I make. The program runs but does not include the edits I make. Any suggestions on how to clear the error?

I'm sure if you follow the post-installation instructions in README.TXT, in the
BCC55 installation folder, it will work with TextPad. Here is
the relevant section, of which 2.a. is the reason why ilink32.exe cannot
be found:

Installing and running the Command Line Tools
-----------------------------------------------

1. Run freecommandlinetools.exe; choose the
drive and folder into which you want to
install the free C++Builder 5 command line
tool development system.

2. From the bin directory of your installation:
a. Add "c:\Borland\Bcc55"
to the existing path environment variable.
b. Create a bcc32.cfg file which will set
the compiler options for the Include
and Lib paths (-I and -L switches to
compiler) by adding these lines:
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
c. Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set
the linker option for the Lib path by
adding this line:
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"

I hope this helps.
