CBuilder 3 using free command line tools

[hennep]

Is there a way to use the CBuilder IDE with the compiler that comes with the free command line tools ?

I am pleased with the interface but have problems compiling some samples I found on the net. The samples use the template class "map".
The line: &quot;map < int, int > m;&quot; complains about a missing third argument. I could supply the argument but I don't wan't to adapt all the code. BCC32.exe that comes with version 5 compiles it without errors.

In short, the answer is yes. The compiler & linker that comes with BCB 5 is the same engine that comes with Borland C++ 5.5. The trick is BCB 5 doesn't create a true makefile. Somewhere I read that it actually makes a XML file. You will have to change this into a makefile. I may be mistaken on this. I'll check to see if I can find the article where is talks about this. More later . . .
