WELCOME TO BORLAND C++ RUNTIME LIBRARY SOURCE 6.5 ------------------------------------------------- This README contains information on support for the Borland C++ Runtime Library source code. BUILDING THE RTL ________________ IMPORTANT: In order to build the libraries, the RTL tools directory must be present on your path. These tools are located in the tools subdirectory of the directory where the source was installed. For example: If your Borland C++ root installation directory is C:\BC45, the RTL source was installed into C:\BC45\SOURCE\RTL and C:\BC45\SOURCE\RTL\TOOLS must be added to your path. You must have TASM.EXE installed from Borland Turbo Assembler before you can build the Run Time Library. To build the rtl, move to the directory where the source was installed and type build.bat. An help screen is displayed allowing you to choose which part of the RTL you want to build. For example : C:\BC45\SOURCE\RTL\BUILD ALL will build everything. NB : if the RTL was not installed in the C:\BC45\SOURCE\RTL directory you will need to modify the file RULES.MAK to set the RTLROOT variable accordingly. Due to limitations in spawning a 16 bit application by a 32 bit application under Windows NT, you cannot build the 16 bit libraries under Windows NT.
