Turbo vision on BC++31

[veso266]

Hi there I was trying to compile some example Turbo vision programs but for some reason fail to compile it with Bordland C++ 3.1
I downloaded it from here: https://winworldpc.com/product/borland-c/30
and installed
I used MS DOS 6.22 with Virtual PC 2007

but when trying to compile TVDEMO1.CPP I get Error: TV needs large memory mode!

not sure why is that, I have 64MB of RAM which should be on the safe site, is it because my CPU is too fast?

Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

Is Code Generation set to large model?
BC 3.1 can be a bit finicky to set up :)

That your PC is too fast is not an issue, provided that your virtualization software is correctly set up. DosBox worked for me.

yea, it was this code generation thingy, after opening example project in DEMo folder it compiled fine, not sure where to set this Code generation in project properties, but .... it works 😄

did you ever try to compile Turbo Vision on RHIDE with gpp?
its a bit more modern than BC++
for some reason I can't get g++ working I always get this error: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=IG2Olic2UrxEyN5viXf-Dy_AIDd8MTU1NDkxNTQwNkAxNTU0ODI5MDA2&stzid=UgxeHdSptghBeuosSbZ4AaABAg.8tM_5fWkeJ58tNeJCuhfT0&q=http%3A%2F%2Fshrani.si%2Ff%2F3k%2FtS%2F3UWGgGkc%2Fgppbroken.png

maybe its 8.3 filename issue, not sure if Pure DOS 6.22 can have Long file name support?

That's the same error that I got :) I did use DJGPP back in the day with RHIDE- most hobbyist 3D programmers did - but I haven't been able to make it work in DosBox. Strange that, considering that it worked under regular DOS. I am using MS-DOS 6.22 in DosBox, but for some reason it fails. Den tir. 9. apr. 2019 kl. 18.57 skrev veso266 <notifications@github.com>:

but I am using regular DOS 6.22 with Virtual PC 2007, not DosBox so that whats strange
I tried again, this time deleted everything and started fresh, I followed instruction carfully even wrote myself an install script: https://github.com/veso266/DJGPP-DOS-INSTALL/tree/master

but now I have some linker errors, when trying to compile sample C++ HelloWorld (one that configure.pl in TurboVision uses to check for C++ compiler )

#if __GNUC__>=3
 #include <iostream>
 #define STD(a) std::a
#else
 #include <iostream.h>
 #define STD(a) a
#endif
int main(void)
{
 STD(cout) << "OK" << STD(endl);
 return 0;
};

at least all the files are there and I think I resolvved 8.3 filename issue

BTW: Do you know of any driver that would remove 8.3 limit in MS DOS 6.22?

Closing because now it's a bit late, isn't it? ;)
