vcl.h: No such file or directory

Question

I\'m looking to compile some old source code in Visual C++. However, the first of many errors I am receiving is:

vcl.h: No such file or directory
         


        

Answer 1

Borland C++ 5.5 and C++ Builder are two different products.

The VCL components are in the C++ Builder product and can't be compiled with Borland C++ 5.5 which is a pure C/C++ compiler (I think OWL is included there).

So you have to get your hands on C++ Builder to be able to compile it.
