Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with BC++ and have not heard
of anyone compiling SYMPHONY with it. If you are working in Microsoft
Windows, the easiest route is to try either Visual C++ or CYGWIN, both
of which have been fully tested and have complete installation
instructions in the README file. If you want to compile with BC++, I can
try to help, but you will have to give me some more information about
where you're running into difficulties.

Cheers,

Ted
