Has anyone tried compiling Boehm GC libary with Cppbuilder?

I am trying to compile the Boehm garbage collector library with RDS 
2007.  (see http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/ and 
http://codecentral.borland.com/Item/21646).

Unfortunately I can't get the provided make file to work (possibly coz I 
know very little about c++).  Has anybody tried it?

Open BCC_MAKEFILE in text editor

Locate this line:
bc=	   c:\Borland\BCC55

Change the path to wherever your cppbuilder is installed. If that path 
contains spaces in it ( Program files\something etc.) it must be 
converted to short DOS style path.

Locate these two:

gcinclude1 = $(bc)\gc6.2\include
gcinclude2 = $(bc)\gc6.2\cord

And change them to this:

gcinclude1 = .\include
gcinclude2 = .\cord

Locate line that starts with define= and make it look like this:

defines= -DSILENT -DALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS -DNO_GETENV 
-DJAVA_FINALIZATION -DSILENT -DUSE_GENERIC -DGC_OPERATOR_NEW_ARRAY 
-DUSE_GENERIC_PUSH_REGS

Locate line that starts with cflags= and make sure it looks like this:

cflags=  -O2 -R -v- -vi -H -H=gc.csm  \
          -I$(bcinclude);$(gcinclude1);$(gcinclude2) -L$(bclib) \
	 -w-pro -w-aus -w-par -w-ccc -w-rch -a8

Save the file and rename it to ne called Makefile.

Open command prompt and execute Make. As a result you will get gc.lib

Thanks.  That compiles to give me a lib file.  Is there anyway to get a dll?

Thanks.  I'll give that a shot.
