Normally in India majority of schools and colleges have Turbo C/C++ as the
default IDE. Most students are younger than the Turbo C/C++ compiler they use
at colleges. I checked our college's Turbo C++ and it was made in 1993. Back
then George Bush Sr. was the president of the USA and Windows 95 was still 2
yrs away.
I tried using Turbo C in Vista but I couldn't use it in maximized state. Then I tried
Wine but it didn't work, I wondered why, but then someone suggested this
amazing piece of software called DOSBOX which helps run software made for
your dad when he was young and had long hair.
Go to the terminal:
sudo aptitude install dosbox
APT will now download and install DOSBOX.
Keep the installation files inside a folder of your home directory named "setup".
Open up dosbox, its under Applications > Games
Type in :
Code:
mount c ~
c:
cd setup
install.exe
This will start the setup of Turbo C.
Code:
mount C ~
c:
cd TC\bin
tc.exe
To maximise full screen hit 'Alt+Enter' and to go back to medium size again hit
'Alt+Enter'. DOSBOX has a habit of capturing the mouse pointer, once you click
within DOSBOX you cannot move it away from the winow. To go back to Ubuntu
hit 'Alt+Enter' twice.
'Alt+X' will close Turbo C.
Hope I have helped :)
