Title: Using the new free Embarcadero C++ Compiler 7.20 (CLANG 3.3/C++ 11) with C::B
Post by: dvoogd on July 22, 2016, 03:10:51 pm
Hi,

I want to use the new Embarcadero C++ Free Commandline compiler 7.20 https://www.embarcadero.com/free-tools/ccompiler (https://www.embarcadero.com/free-tools/ccompiler)( which includes CLANG 3.3/C++ 11 support) with CodeBlocks. I looked at compiler_bcc.xml and wondered if I only have to modify the template and save it under a new name or is there more to it?

Greetings,

Don

I would suggest just editing the Code::Blocks (CB) Compiler setting for "Borland C++ Compiler" using the CB Gui.

Note: If you already have an "Borland C++ Compiler" setup using a different version; use the Copy button.

Setting -> Compiler
Select the "Borland C++ Compiler"
Change Compiler name to "bcc32c.exe" under Toolchain settings.
Change the Resource Compiler to "rc.exe"

Delete or correct the "Search Directories"; I deleted them.

I then added these [Linker Search Paths] to the release CB project targets
Code
$(TARGET_COMPILER_DIR)lib\win32c\release
$(TARGET_COMPILER_DIR)lib\win32c\release\psdk

And, this to the debugger targets; NOTE: The lack of a debug PSDK implies complex project will NOT build in debug mode.
Code
$(TARGET_COMPILER_DIR)lib\win32c\debug

This setup then built "Hello World"

Please read at least some of the CB FAQs. http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/FAQ (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/FAQ)

Hi Tim,

Got a little question:  is there an debugger I can use with the Embarcadero C++ Compiler 7.20?

Greetings,

Don

I know of NO debugger  that works with that Compiler and works with Code::Blocks.
