Hi, I just started going through your tutorials (I'm at 4 already!) but I noticed that when I try to run the exe from outside of Borland I get an error that says "A required DLL file, CW3230.DLL, was not found". The program executes fine from within Borland, so I don't understand why it won't work on it's own. Oh, and I don't know if this is important or not, but I removed the "#include vcl.h" and "USELIB ("glaux.lib");" lines because the commenting said that they were only needed for Visual C++ 4.0.

If I''m not mistaking, the 2 lines you removed shouldn''t be removed. That''s probably what''s causing your errors. Put them
back in and recompile and try again...

I would, except that Borland C++ has a problem with USELIB, the error says ") expected" it wants me to put a ")" right after "USE"

If you''re using a version of Borland more recent than 4.0, then DO COMMENT OUT #include vcl.h and Uselib("glaux.lib"), but make sure you compile the program with glaux.lib.

Yes, I am using Borland 5.02. How would I go about compiling the program with glaux.lib ?

CW3230.DLL is the Borland C runtime. There is a compiler option somewhere whether to link statically or dynamically against it.

I use the command line version of the Borland compiler - to compile with libraries you just call bcc32 source.cpp lib1.lib lib2.lib ...
Don''t know how you do it within the IDE. I assume there are some options somewhere - or maybe you need a project file containing the source and libraries?

In the Project Options, go to the Linker page and uncheck "Use dynamic RTL". If it is a project using forms and the VCL, then go to the Packages page and uncheck "Build with runtime packages".

I don''t know what all you guys are talking about.

The EASY WAY - find CW3230.DLL and put it in the same directory as your program!

Borland is funny that way...just find the dll and put it with your program.
