Solve : Turbo C in linux?

Answer»

How can I install turbo C in linux mint? Please tell me the complete procedure?GOOGLE this:
Linux windows emulator

You run a windows emulator and run your program.
But programs written in Turbo C use the Windows API.
So they are not Linux programs until compiled by a Linux C package.

Let's start over.
If you are new, it is best to use Ubuntu until you become familiar with Linux.
Here is a link about C and C++ in Ubuntu.

Just ignore the ADVERTISING!





I read on the this webpage to run turbo C in linux with dosbox which is a utility software.

http://pingusays.blogspot.com/2009/04/turbo-c-in-linux.html

after that I was going to download dos box from (http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 ) but don't know which VERSION should I install ?Please tell the rest of the procedure?Hey, Thanks. I didn't know you could do it in DOSBX.
But I would recommend you install Ubuntu, perhaps on another HD, If you are not using it.
The links you gave a excellent. I think it is easier to do in Ubuntu.
Look here:Quote

Notice how easy it is to get a DOSBOX in Ubuntu:

Code: [SELECT]Simply, Go to the terminal:
sudo aptitude install dosboxWhat could be easier?

The link I gave above is not on this forum.
But glad you stopped in and hope this is of some help.
Come back and teach us what you have learned.
I really did like the debugger in Turbo C. It was neat.
Turbo C++ is a borland product for MS-DOS.

the best method for linux would likely be gcc, which I believe is included in all major distros.I go with BC_Programmer. The gcc is included in Ubuntu. It can be invoked by the command "gcc" in the terminal. You will get the error "No input FILES" because you need to specify the path to the source and some other options.But is it a nice to use a the Borland product?

The Ubuntu people use it in the DOSBOX and replace the standard library with a Linux library. I have yet to try it.what is BC_programmer ? BC_Programmer is another member of this forum.Quote
