Installing Turbo C

Dear Members,

          In this lesson we tell you How to install Turbo C Editor? and setting up directories ...

SO FRIENDS LETS START OUR LESSON

•  Installing Turbo C :-

                          Turbo C compiler is commonly available on CD's. When you install the Turbo C compiler, the TC directory is created on the hard disk and various sub directories such as INCLUDE, and LIB etc. are created under TC.

                    INCLUDE :-         Contains the header files of C.

                         LIB :-                 Contains the library files of C.

                     When Turbo C is installed, the above mentioned directory structure is automatically created and their respective files are copied into them.

           The installing process of Turbo C is very easy. It provides "install" program used to install the Turbo C compiler. Simply, run the install program and follow the instructions such as ; the directory name and path where you want to install the system (Turbo C compiler). By default, directory name is TC on the root of drive C.

• Setting Up Directories :-

By default, the source files, object files and executable files are stored in the current directory (or TC directory). You can set specific directory paths to store source files and output files (i.e. object and executable files).

             To set the directory path, follow these steps.

• Select "Directories" from "options" menu of Turbo C editor, a window will appear as shown below.

 

•                       Set the path of header files in the "include Directories" field such as " C:\TC\INCLUDE". 
•                       Set the path of library files in the "Library Directories" field such as " C:\TC\LIB ".
• In "Output Directory", the compiler stores the object files and linker stores the 'exe' files. Set the path for output files.
• In "Source Directories", the source files are stored. Set the path for source files.
