can anybody suggest me how can we can we install turbo c in a 64 bit system.i got fed up of searching but leads to zero success even compiler downloaded from net written with 64 bit caompatile version is not running on my laptop.it is a compaq cq40 model with windows 7 on 2gb ram and a dual core processor.
Did you try C Free??
download dos box and install c++ turbo in it
TIP: search for “turbo c in windows 7”
What’s turbo c? And which age does that belong to? Stone age?

visual studio express edition and gcc are two good compilers.
^Yup, I could never understand the shackles that binds away the newbies from trying decent compiler. GCC is almost used in production and its free, heck even a google search gives out a decent example:

Turbo C/C++ can never run on 64 bit windows as it is a 16 bit executable. You need to use VC++ or gcc as suggested above. Another thing you try to do is use 32 bit Windows 7, it might work (I haven’t tried this so I am not sure).
What if person wants to run functions of graphics.h? Is there any alternative that functions of graphics.h can be implemented by any other compiler. If so, then do let me know since me too looking for the same.
What’s the api in there? Sorry, I don’t recollect much, cause as I said, its stone age. Are you talking of drawing on canvas? Tried gcc or vcc? They both have it, try google. In my times, it was way difficult, cause google wasn’t there. Now it is, why don’t you use it?

Have you tried codeblocks 10 ? Its good .
Thats nice, I admit I don’t ever look beyond vim, gcc, vc++. Really nice find.

+1 yea, i read about code::blocks but never tried it so far, good suggestion.
well discovered it ..as in class 10, I used to use netbeans while others were satisfied on blueJ 
So in 12th also needed something of same kind and all suggested VC++ , But for school purpose it seemed a bit over the top for me so this was the best suited app . BTW borland 5.02 also works on Win7x64 but codeblocks is a better one at the job.
well technically speaking you dont need a 64 bit compiler or 64 bit machine to create 64 bit binaries. i dont exactly remember the term (its something like binary portability or something) but all you need is the required libraries. thats how VLC media player is built on linux boxes for windows OS.
google for toolchain.
thats true, and its called cross-compiling to build windows binaries on linux (and then you can test them on wine!) you use gcc/mingw i believe

Bloodshed Dev C++ is good. dunno much about it but it works good for me.
Well the tool chain is a noun used for collection of tools like compiler, linker etc. he needs a compiler/linker which can output a 64 bit portable executable (for windows). Now this compiler/linker can itself be a 32 bit application. So he does need it directly or indirectly(using some tool chain). For example our toolchain take its compiler from windws SDK.
GCC ftw!..
well c downloaded from gcc is rather a bit more like vb in way isnt a compiler a lot like turbo and vc++ is not available as freeware,it is available on paid version which is rather too costly for me.
