How to compile the BCI code?

[ysumuyi]

Hi,
I have downloaded the latest version of BCI code. The version that I downloaded is 3654. But, when I compiled the program in the environment of Borland C++ Builder 6.0, it could not pass the compilation. It came out many errors as follows:

Build

[C++ Error] Runnable.h(206): E2108 Improper use of typedef 'C'
[C++ Error] Runnable.h(206): E2228 Too many error or warning messages

These errors are come from the compilation of the BCBProject file: P3Speller. The file's path is: src\core\Application\P3Speller.
What I want to ask is why the file can not pass the compilation by using Borland C++ Builder 6.0? Is the compiler version is too low? If so, What version of the software should I use? And what's the problem if that's not the problem of version?
Thanks very much!

Unfortunately, Borland C++ Builder 6 is not able to compile that code. However, it compiles fine under C++ Builder 2010.

You might consider switching to Microsoft VisualStudio Express, which is available for free from Microsoft's web site.
