This weekend I purchased a book from this seller on Craigslist - `"Advanced MS-DOS Programming: The Microsoft Guide for Assembly Language and C Programmers" <https://www.librarything.com/work/178384>`_ and before opening it, I wanted to get a C environment running.
|
|
|
|
I found a copy of `TurboC2 on Archive.org <https://archive.org/details/msdos_borland_turbo_c_2.01>`_ and tossed that into my DOS Box install. I wrote a "Hello world" and pressed compile and it couldn't include "stdio.h", what the heck?
|
|
|
|
It seems that the Archive.org copy of Turbo C 2 ships with configuration that sets where the Includes and Lib directories to ``C:\TC``. I keep all my programs in ``C:\PROGS`` so of course it can't find any header files for me!
|
|
|
|
To fix this you can either move your TurboC install to ``C:\TC``, which feels wrong to me, or you could configure it in the options properly.

Steps
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Go to the Directories entry in the Options Menu.
|
|
* You can see the default provided configuration directories
|
|
* Fill out your appropriate directories for all three of the options.
|
|
* Make sure all three are configured properly.
|
|
* Then you can save your config, so you only have to do this once.

Unfortunately - this file is a binary file. You can't just edit it in a text editor and carry on, so this is the only way I know how to change these locations.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who runs into any include errors with Borland Turbo C 2!
