I will try to do that but I think it will not work because if I look
at the cfg files in the compiler bin dir I see lines like this for
example in bcc32.cfg:

-I"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\crtl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\dinkumware";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\rtl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\vcl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\sdk"
-I"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\vcl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\rtl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\crtl";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\windows\sdk";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\include\dinkumware"
-L"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\lib\win32\release";"C:\Programs\Embarcadero\RAD
Studio\11.0\lib\win32\release\psdk"

To me it looks like there is no space between L and the data.

I am not very good at C++ (I am really a Delphi Pascal person) so I am
not sure I can compile the simple program. Will have to investigate
how it can be done. And what the source file should look like...
