Using Dev C++ with Turbo C++ compiler

[haveaniceday]

Hi all,

Could I use Dev C++ with the compiler of Turbo C++? Please tell me how to set it up.

Thanks in advance

The question is: Why do you want to use an ancient compiler in a very old IDE?

[haveaniceday]

Because gcc makes really big .exe files, and it doesnt handle the old graphics.lib

[Bazzy]

Depends how you link libraries. And if a library is very old you should think of getting a newer one.
Especially if you are not programming for DOS...

I just want to compile a program that can run in DOS mode.

[Bazzy]

Then you can't use Dev C++ since it's not for DOS

Nope. As Bazzy said, it depends what you are linking with. If you compile with C++ but use C I/O, you can create an exe as small as 5 - 6 k with CodeBlocks - which is using a more up to date gcc than Dev-cpp.
