Unable to open include file 'inttypes.h' in Borland C++ Builder

Question

I'm using Borland C++ Builder, I wrote a class where I had to use this header "inttype.h" because I'm using 'int64_t'. the problem is I have this error telling me it can open this include file:

[C++ Error] RSA.h(3): E2209 Unable to open include file 'inttypes.h'

in Code::Blocks I didn't have this problem, so I thought C++ Builder doesn't have this file, so I added 'inttypes.h' from Code::Blocks directory to my project in C++ Builder but still the same error.

how can I surpass this problem ? or if I can't include this file, what are long integer variables I can use instead of 'int64_t' ?

EDITED:

my C++ Builder version is 6

thanks, I finally found a solution is one could say. instead of using "inttypes.h" I used "stdint.h" but still wondering, can this stdint.h do all the things inttypes.h can do ?

inttypes , but I tried inttype after reading your comment, same result. @mangusta — Mohe TheDreamy, Mar 17 '14 at 14:39
:-) i mean, probably the header file is called `inttype.h` while you use `#include "inttypes.h"` — mangusta, Mar 17 '14 at 14:39
please also take look at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7597025/difference-between-stdint-h-and-inttypes-h and the wikipedia article linked there — vlad_tepesch, Mar 17 '14 at 15:06
C99 header files are not very popular with C++ tool vendors, they break too much existing code. That language is in dire need of namespace support to ever evolve. Just provide your own substitute. — Hans Passant, Mar 17 '14 at 15:11

inttypes is a c99 header. probably your compiler does not fully support c99. you may try #include <cinttypes> which is the c++ variant. or the more basic stdint.h or cstdint

@vlad_teesch same problem with '#include ' but I solved the problem using '#include' – Mohe TheDreamy Mar 17 '14 at 15:02
2016 update: Embarcadero C++Builder Seattle 10 still does not have cinttypes. A truly terrible product. :( – rettichschnidi Feb 16 '16 at 10:14
C++Builder 10.1 Berlin still doesn't have it (but most times stdint.h is enough). – Simon Sobisch Jul 31 '16 at 10:27
