How to run C++ on windows 7 (64 bit)

"This is an adapted version of some orignal work...
Duplicated for fun and PrAcTiCe... :P" (see original)

Some chaos in your mind to run C++ on your 64 bit machine?

Or you are just switching your mind to run it on your PC or install XP and so on???

There is a solution..

A step-by-step solution how to install Turbo C++ on 64 bit Windows 7:

1. Install a software DosBox ver 0.74: download here

2. Create a folder, for example C++ (c:\C++\).

3. Download and extract Turbo C++ to the C++ folder (c:\C++\): download here

4. Run DosBox 0.74

5. Type the following commands in the command prompt screen of DosBox:

    mount d c:\C++

A message like "Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\C++\" would appear on the screen.

(This step creates a virtual drive D on which files of folder C++ are mounted and you use C++ through DosBox)

6. Type d: This will shift to the above virtual drive d: created.

7.Now write the following commands:

    cd tc

    cd bin

then type tc  or tc.exe (which will start the C++ IDE interface).

8. In the Turbo C++ goto:

   Options>Directories> Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] ( i.e. virtual D: refers to original      c:\Turbo\ . So change the path  to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively )

This process has to be repeated every time you have to start C++.

To overcome this  monotony just follow the following steps:

To Start TurboC++ directly in DosBox automaticaly:


Go to start and open DosBox 0.74 > Options > DosBox 0.74 Options

Go to the end of the page and type:


mount d c:\C++
d:
cd tc
cd bin
tc

Note:
1. To have full screen view: Press alt+enter.
2. Do not press ctrl+F9. It is a DosBox command and will close it.
So compile and run the program using the mouse only..
