+Borland C++ 5.5 compilation
+---------------------------
+
+Before compiling wxWindows with Borland C++ 5.5, there are a few
+issues concerning the compiler installation:
+
+1. The compiler must be installed to a path that does not contain
+ spaces, such as c:\Borland\Bcc55 (in particular, do not install
+ it below "C:\Program Files").
+
+2. Make sure that you downloaded and installed the service pack 1
+ for Borland C++ 5.5. This SP1 can be downloaded from:
+ http://www.borland.com/devsupport/bcppbuilder/patches/#freecompiler55
+
+ IMPORTANT:
+ When installing SP1, make sure that you extract (UnZip) the files
+ to the directory where you installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g.,
+ c:\Borland\Bcc55) with the option "use folder names" selected.
+ This is necessary, to ensure that the files (mostly include files)
+ are extracted to the right directory.
+
+3. Create the following two files in the same directory where you
+ installed Borland C++ 5.5 (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55):
+
+ a. bcc32.cfg
+ text file containing the following two lines:
+ -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
+ -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
+
+ b. ilink32.cfg
+ text file containing the following line:
+ -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
+
+ (replace c:\Borland\Bcc55 with the actual path where you installed
+ Borland C++ 5.5)
+
+4. Add the borland BIN directory to your path (e.g., c:\Borland\Bcc55\bin),
+ and define the environment variable BCCDIR=<Borland C++ 5.5 path>
+ (e.g., set BCCDIR=c:\Borland\Bcc55)
+
+Compiling wxWindows:
+
+Once the compiler and its service pack are properly installed, you build
+wxWindows using the provided makefile.b32 in the src/msw directory:
+
+a. To build wxWindows in DEBUG mode:
+
+ cd c:\wx2\src\msw
+ make -f makefile.b32
+
+ (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows)
+
+b. To build wxWindows in RELEASE mode:
+
+ cd c:\wx2\src\msw
+ make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1
+
+ (if you had previously built wxWindows, you need to clean all of
+ the object and intermediate files. Before the above make command,
+ run: 'make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL')
+
+IMPORTANT:
+The Service Pack 1 for Borland C++ 5.5 must be installed before wxWindows
+is compiled. If you compiled wxWindows before, it is advised that you
+re-compile it following the next steps:
+
+ cd c:\wx2\src\msw
+ make -f makefile.b32 CLEANALL
+ make -f makefile.b32 (or make -f makefile.b32 FINAL=1)
+
+ (replace c:\wx2 with the actual path where you installed wxWindows)
+
+** REMEMBER **
+
+In all of your wxWindows applications, your source code should include
+the following preprocessor directive:
+
+#ifdef __BORLANDC__
+#pragma hdrstop
+#endif
+
+(check the samples -- e.g., \wx2\samples\minimal\minimal.cpp -- for
+more details)
