Compiling/Linking your C++ application

Linux i386 (eg. RedHat)

Borland CBuilder5 (GUI)

In order to compile programs that use the config library, you need to add the library to the project.

  1. From the Project menu, select "Add to Project..." (Figure 1)
  2. In the Add to Project Dialog, set the "Files of Type" selection to Library File (.lib) (Figure 2)
  3. Navigate to the directory where the rudeconfig libraries are located* (Figure 3)
  4. Select rudeconfig-cb.lib (Figure 4)**
  5. Click the "Open" button to finish adding the file.
  6. Compile your program as usual (Figure 5)

* The location of the rudeconfig-cb.lib file depends on where you installed it. If you followed the installation instructions for borland, it will be in Borland's lib directory. If you used the Quick-N-Dirty installation, then the library file is probably in the same directory as your program's source code.
** rudeconfig.lib is used when compiling from the command line, rudeconfig-cb.lib is used when using CBuilder's GUI interface.
