well, the reason it doesn't recognize printf is because it can't find the prototypes because it can't find stdio.h.
Now, this means
1) you didn't install properly and set up your environment variables
2) you moved the files around
Solution?
1) double check your reinstall
Temporary Solution?
1) Go to \include\ and copy stdio.h over to the same folder as your .c

Lol. I didn't install C. Lmao. What a n00b. I thought the computer already had it on.  Where to install from?
I'll go with the temporary solution for the moment. Thanks appalasp. Also sorry for PMing you and for asking so many questions.

you probably didn't do the autoexec.bat and the .cfg stuff, if you did, then you should be able to run bcc32 from anywhere (and it will find and recognize the headers)

Yeah I asked another question related to that on the last page:

Thanks. That sounds much easier once I've done it, lol.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

From http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-72.html.
I decided to try and follow a different tutorial than the one you posted because it made me dizzy.

When I right click on my computer in the start bar, in the drop-down menu, there isn't advanced... Thanks anyway. I'm running Windows XP if it helps.
I only get:
| Code: | Open
Browse with Paint Shop Pro 8
Explore
Search...
Manage
-----------------------
Map Network Drive...
Disconnect Network Drive...
-----------------------
Show on desktop
Rename
-----------------------

I have a few questions.
I was reading a C book, and it said that this program
| Code: |
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) /* a simple program */
{
int num; /* define a variable called num */
num = 1; /* assign a value to num */
printf("I am a simple "); /* use the printf() function */
printf("computer.\n");
printf("My favorite number is %d because it is first.\n",num);
return 0;
}
|
should write something to the screen. However, when I run the program, it always opens up a cmd, and quickly closes, meaning I have to go to the cmd, change the path, and run it from there.
But my question is, can C programs (exe's) be run outside/without a cmd prompt? Or must c executables always be in a cmd prompt.
If they don't have to, it would be nice if someone could explain how. I've tried a lot, and it all results in the same stuff.

yes they can pyro. Easiest way to view it is to make it pause, or wait for user input, like put a
at the end. Alternatively you can make a windows GUI but thats a hassle for small programs.

Yea, I read that. However, I was wondering how I could make a GUI with a C program, and/or how I could just print characters to a screen, not in a cmd.
Perhaps I'm just not understanding the whole concept =x

To make GUI try this tutorial http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ and always keep a window open for msdn.
What do you mean by "printing characters to a screen"? Isn't the cmd window on the screen? The cmd window is the standard output, so any thing sent with printf will be sent to that screen.
If you meant something that's in a window, the easiest way is probably just the message box:
| Code: |
int num = 1;
char out [30];
sprintf(out,"This is %d",num);
MessageBoxA(NULL, out, "HI", MB_OK);
|
Don't forget to include windows.h if you're going to use that.
