Borland C Compiler

[DWk]

Ok, can anyone direct me to a DIRECT link to (preferably) Borland's C compiler. I don't know the difference between C and C++, so I would like some links. Thanks :)

By the way does anyone know if C is the same as C# ?

here (ftp://ftpd.borland.com/download/bcppbuilder/freecommandLinetools.exe)
or
here (http://altd.borland.com/download/bcppbuilder/freecommandLinetools.exe)

this is a free version of the borland compiler given away from there website. it is just the compiler with no fancy ide to develope with so i would recommend. you read
this (http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21205,00.html) on how to set it up.

you then just type bcc32 filename.cpp at your commandline to compile.

i think c# is the .net version of c but i have not looked into it so i could be very wrong.

C, C++, and C# are all different languages.

C is basically the base language. C++ is C revamped, and C# is Microsoft's new language to kill Java. C++ is fading out as far as I know for Java, however C++ is a very very good language to know don't let me bash it. C is also tougher to learn than Java.

The new linux kernel 2.6 is written in all C. No C++.

@DWk The free borland compiler is command line only. ;)

and i still cant get that damn thing working.

i really should read what modules i want and what needs to be compiled into the kernel itself. :(

Find a good tutorial pertaining to your distro and make sure you enable kernel module support. Almost everyone wants modules. Its a shame is not built in by default. :)

That&#39;s not a problem. I don&#39;t mind compiling from DOS. The thing is I was confused on what to get (because I didn&#39;t know the difference between C and C#)

If you check borland.com, you shall see that they have a C++ Builder and a C#Builder, but I didn&#39;t see anything as a C Builder :ph34r:

I mostly use the gcc compiler. I believe they have a port for windows 32 bit systems.
