If the programs compiles with graphics.h included, I think it's Borland compiler.

try giving .cpp extension to the filename and compile it.

Do this :

ENABLE GRAPHICS BY GOING TO OPTIONS MENU IN TC COMPILER THEN CLICK LINKERS THEN CLICKING [ ]GRAPHICS LIBRARY .DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER OPTION.

hope this will help :)

I tried doing this friend, i left rest of the option as intact, and just removed the cross from graphics library as u said, but still the problem persists:-?

are sorry dont remove the cross instead run this program :


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<graphics.h>
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT,gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"c:\\tc\\bgi");
setbkcolor(RED);
getch();
}


Problems in ur program

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<graphics.h.<----------should be #include<graphics.h>
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT,GM;<-----------should be gm i.e in small
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"");
setbkcolor(RED);
getch();
}

hope this will help

[gofeddy]

initgraph(&gd,&gm,"");


replace this line wit.......initgraph(&gd,&gm,"..\\bgi");

it might work

[T159]

Search turbo c/c++ help before drawing out conclusion.

U could hav find the answers if u hav right clicked on graphics.h, then would hav scrolled right to the bottom to see some examples, copy the driver initiaiization part from any of the exaples and give the address of bgi directory. e.g. if ur tc is in c: drive then give
c:\\tc\\bgi
as the path

[The_Devil_Himself]

replace this line wit.......initgraph(&gd,&gm,"..\\bgi");

it might work
+1.This worked fr me.

[T159]

+1.This worked fr me.
just for info
. is for parent dir
.. is the present working dir

there is no problem in My program i have executed it in TURBO C++

all i can suggest to is to Dump Borland compiler and use TURBO C++ :D

if u r not able to find TURBO C++ i can upload it for u :)

[aditya.shevade]

^^ Oi... Turbo C/C++ is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that uses Borland's C/C++ compiler.

[saurabh kakkar]

thanks man for the info i was confused i was also thinking that both r same

thing :)

@ sauravgr8 : plz provide the error that u r getting

[sauravgr8]

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<graphics.h>
void main()
{
int gd=DETECT,gm;
initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:/TC/BIN");
setbkcolor(RED);
getch();
}
this is the program i typed in and saved with .c extension
now when i compile it shows success
but wheni i run it gives an error
UNABLE TO OPEN " TCCLASS.LIB"
now what should i do

[saurabh kakkar]

^^ I have uploaded my Tc compiler extract it using winrar and then install :) By clicking on

INSTALL.EXE then chose the location where u want ur Tc folder then press y on each Q asked

then When done !! comes instalation is complete

then ENABLE GRAPHICS BY GOING TO OPTIONS MENU IN TC COMPILER THEN CLICK LINKERS THEN

CLICKING [X]GRAPHICS LIBRARY . do not remove the [X] if it already exists :D

File: C++.rar

DownloadLink: http://rapidshare.com/files/57529675/C__.rar
