In many of my previous posts especially in the Programming section, I have used C as the programming language for writing the programs. If you’re new to C programming and find it difficult to compile the C source codes then this post is for you.
Here is a step-by-step procedure to install Borland C++ compiler 5.5 on your PC and compile the C programs.
How to Install Borland C++ compiler?
Follow the below steps to install Borland C++ compiler 5.5 on your PC:
-
Download Borland C++ compiler 5.5 (for Windows platform) from the following link:
-
After you download, run the file C++5.51.exe. The default installation path would be:
C:\Borland\BCC55
How to configure Borland C++ compiler?
Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to configure the compiler:
-
After you install Borland C++ compier, create two new Text Documents.
-
Open the first New Text Document.txt file and add the following two lines into it:
-I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
Save changes and close the file. Now rename the file from New Text Document.txt to bcc32.cfg.
-
Open the second New Text Document (2).txt file and add the following line into it:
-L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
Save changes and close the file. Rename the file from New Text Document (2).txt to ilink32.cfg.
-
Now copy the two files bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg, navigate to C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin and paste them.
How to Compile the C Source Code (.C files)?
Here is a detailed instruction on how to compile C source codes:
-
You need to place the .C (example.c) file to be compiled in the following location:
-
Now go to the command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)
-
Make the following path as the present working directory (use the CD command):
-
To compile the file (example.c) use the following command:
-
Now if there exists no error in the source code, you’ll get a compiled executable module (example.exe) in the same location (C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin).
-
Now you have successfully compiled the source code into an executable file(.exe file).

Reinstall your C compiler and configure it properly.
hey great job btw but when i run>cmd and i type C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin is says that it is not an internal/external command.. please help!!
@ FoXriDeR
Type “cd\” ENTER
then type “cd C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin” ENTER
This should work!
i sort of get lost after how to configure it

@ a.j
Yes you can compile.. but it’ll be 16-bit… You need to compile it using a 32-bit to change it’s icon…
i got a error massage about the stdio header file.
warning-unable to open include file “stdio.h”

i replied him that i dont know.
so atlast i want to ask you that can you tell me how can my friend
know that someone hacking my friends broadband connection or not
What’s the .c file? I get lost at the part where it tells us to move the .c file to C:\Borland\BCC55\Bin
nicely done!
keep it up
Hey Shrikant,
I have created a program (using C language)in which I have listed Tables with the help of loops.Can I save this table in *.txt format?
Thanks in advance.Hope I’ll get some help.
Hi. I tried compiling the codes for the usb virus in the cmd promp it said unable to open include file stdio.h. I even tried reinstalling borland and reconfigure it and it still said the same thing and i configured it right because i did exactly what you said. Please help.

@ vipan
No the block_usb.c has been coded for windows PC and not for UNIX.
Why can’t my files be opened on the Borland Compiler I’ve configured it right as far as I know Ive done it about 7 times…. and still get errors.
thank you….very..very..very…much..can you suggest me any tutorial or books..so i can advance in creating trojans
Can we run this code in turbo c also or do I have to make some changes to do so and also I would like to know if we can compile and run the code using Ctrl+F9
hey srikant. can u mail me an easy way to create a trojan. i find it hard to make by using c++ way……..
You are genius.I am also a computer expert but I wish if i could become like you.May be in next birth…
very confused…plz break it down into little baby steps for a vista user plzzzzz
i get a .obj file please help!!
Hi Srikanth Keep up the good work.I really like what you are doing could you teach me.Im really interested.i know some basics oc C as we have programs in C in our college.
Hi Srikanth,
I get to the point where you enter the command promt command to compile the file. Whenever I enter “bcc32 example.c” It says that there were 18 errors in compile. And thanks for putting, so much awesome stuff up on the site.
yes, I have the same issue as Richard. I am honestly sure I have contacted you on this B4. I am trying to compile the trojan horse using these instructions.
For all those who are having difficulty in compiling the programs
It is highly recommended that you have atleast a surface level knowledge of C language and know how to work with C Compilers. Otherwise it would be hard to debug the errors. So I am sorry for all those who have problems in compiling. It’s hard for me to answer each and everyone’s queries.
