error BGI graphics not supported under Windows

[amin_1]

i got a project in c++ and want to make graph and shaps in c++
but i got this error i am using borland 5.02
if any one knows this please

Are you able to NOT use borland and use gcc/g++ or MSVC?

[jwenting]

it's a 20 year old 16 bit DOS only compiler and library, why do you even assume it's going to work under Windows, let alone a modern version of Windows, which are all 64 bit (or 32 bit at worst)?

my brother this is my first project
and i know just turboo c++ and borland c++
i do not know other please help me to i add
console graphics lite to my project

Depending on the version of Windows you are using, this most likely isn't going to be possible. Windows Vista and later do not support 16-bit legacy code except through virtualization or emulation. Since the Turbo C compiler is for MS-DOS (the predecessor of Windows), and the second may be for either DOS or older (16-bit) versions of Windows, it is safe to say that there is no reasonable way to do this.

I am afraid that the real solution is to bite the bullet and learn how to use a modern compiler and the Windows console API. The compiler that is closest to the Borland one is the Embarcadero C++ Builder, but that is very expensive (over $200 US for the least expensive edition), and even then it isn't all that much like the older systems. A better choice would be either Code::Blocks (which uses the GCC compiler) or Visual Studio Express, both of which are free and up to date.
