Hi,

I have inherited a bunch of C source files (.c and .h) along with an .ide file. I want to be able to compile this source ... The thing is that I do not know what the original developers used - maybe they used Borland builder. I am new to this environment and so I would appreciate any advice anyone may have to offer as to the steps I could take.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Solution 1

.IDE extension suggests borland: See here and check the file ID characters[^]
That should hopefully help - you then just need to get the right version of borland...

Solution 2

Well, Another approch is, what is the code compiled to? What [OS] system does it run. Can you move the files to newer project. Try creating empty solution/project and add the files. You may have to set up linker to statically linked library.
