Hi, get the free windows compilers form Borland or the Watcom compiler suite. The Borland Compilers are command line tools and Watcom has some kind of IDE. AFAIK MathLink is not working with LCC-win32 beside the header files *.h you need some c-files *.c. *.cpp or *.C (on unix machines) and you have to write a Mathematica Template and a C-function wrapper that take the parameter from Mathematica and send the results back (only in very simple cases the template is sufficient) Regards Jens sean kim wrote: > > hello group, > > I have some codes written in C and C++. > > Obviously, I do not understand them as I have never taken C class. > But, since Mathematica is able to call programs written in other languages, I > thought this may be the way I should use the codes.
