How to Compile the C Source Code (.C files)?

Here is a detailed instruction on how to compile C source codes:

1.You need to place the .C (example.c) file to be compiled in the following location:

C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin

2.Now go to the
command prompt(Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)

3.Make the following path as the present working directory (use the CD command):

C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin

4.To compile the file (example.c) use the following
command:

bcc32example.c

5.Now if there exists no error inthe source code, you’ll get a compiled executable module (example.exe) in the same location (C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin).

6.Now you have successfully compiled the source code into an executable file(.exe file).

(NOTE: The above tutorial assumes that you’ve installed the compiler onto the C: drive (by default).)
