Compiling problem

[Kaycee]

Hi,

I am new to programming and I want to learn C.
Now when I compile this:

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

The compiler says:

Could not compile, could not find stddio.h

Please help me, I really wanna learn!

The compiler I use is Borlands compiler, cause I need a free one.

Thanks.

You need to tell the compiler were it can find the include files.

Something like bcc32 -Ic:\borland\bcc55\include hello.c

Then you'll probably get the message the compiler can't find the library files.  
So the complete syntax should be bcc32 -Ic:\borland\bcc55\include -Lc:\borland\bcc55\lib hello.c

You could also create to files (bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg) but why not check the Borland site.  Their explanation is alot better than mine   .

I found the file in some borland directory, but what you told me should I put that line into my script? (I am totally new to this so plz help)

Also I like the borland compiler cause all the others are confusing, I need a windows compiler...

Cud u help me?

You normally need to say where the include library is in your Autoexec.bat. Look on the PATH= line. I think it should say something like c:\borland\bcc55\include\

what's the differences between:
a.) #include<stdio.h>
     int main(void)
      {
      printf("Hello world\n");
      return 0;
      }

AND

b.) #include <stdio.h>
     main ()
     {
      printf("hello there world");
      }
?

when i was in college, we used a book called "C for engineers and scientist" and they use the code found in b.) and it worked but i can't remember which version of C is it.

now, when i use the code found in b.) with C++ compiler 5.5, an error always occur saying something about the "function main" i can't remember the whole sentence and the computer i'm using right now doesn't have C installed.

what could be wrong???

thanks in advance.

Your problem is a bit confusing..
Have a look at the error message you received:

"Could not compile, could not find stddio.h"

When looking at that I can tell you there is no standard header file that is  called "stddio.h". It is called "stdio.h". So it seems to be a typo in your program.

The code you wanted to compile does not confirm to the new standards of C. That is why it wont compile on newer compilers.

You should now provide a return parameter like "int main()".
