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.
