So you don’t want to use borland’s c++ compiler, you just want to use
its editor? That seems like a senseless question, because then you’d
obviously not have any compatiblity problems. I’ll assume you want to
use Borland’s c++ compiler with sdl. There are instructions in
Borland.htm in the sdl distribution zip. The instructions even work
(almost)!
I Don?t want to use borland Compiler, I want to use another compiler with Borland?s IDE, (editor/debugger interface), is that possible?
If I use a borland compiller, Will my code still be portable? I was told borland C++ is a lot different than ANSI C++, If I actually use Borland compiler will my code run on Linux?
It depends on what you mean by “good”…
by good I mean, easy using, easy debugging, BugFree.

Sorry, I don’t know the answer.

Your code will run on linux easily if you test it on linux early and
often. Adhering to a standard which may or may not be fully supported
by one or more compilers is a poor substitute for a serious test suite.

Again, I donno. I use emacs and fprintf (stderr,…) myself, as that
"IDE" seems totally portable. “easy using” it is not.

Editor: sure.
Debugger: probably not.
But don’t expect to just press Ctrl+F9 and your code gets compiled with
other compiler. AFAIK, that will not work.
Why don’t you just find some good text editor like SciTE, and forget
about Borland IDE? I used Borland’s IDE for 3 years, and after I used
good editors like SciTE or jEdit, I came to conclusion that Borland’s
text editor sux.

It will if you write it in a portable way. I compile my games with
Borland on Windows and with gcc on Linux from the same sources. Only the
makefiles differ.–
