HaruPDF library

[Massimo Linossi]

Hi
Is it possible to compile this library to be used with xhb.com ?
I've downloaded an example with the source and I've seen that it creates pdf files in an easy and powerful way.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you can. Someone in the Spanish forum compiled with xHarbour, AFAIK most of the possible differences between compilers have been solved, and we are here to help you to solve any trouble can arise.
Yo have 100% of the source code available, but the manual has not been translated to english yet. Anyway, there are complete tests to produce a complete invoice like pdf including inages, barcodes, full form drawing, etc.
Even thow it is a relatively new library, it is still growing, but it is being used in production environment so it works and can be used safely.
And eventual bugs get solved quickly.

Feel free to try and ask for help if you need.

Hi Carlo.
I've downloaded the library and a demo prg for testing.
Here is the result of the compilation.

Where can I find these functions ?
Thanks a lot.

Ciao Massimo

Seems to be a problem related to compiler version. How did you build the lib? The one in the repository is built in Harbour, so that could be the issue.
Did you downloaded the repository? Please, to avoid lib building problems, include the prgs from the source directory straight into your project, to set appart the issues related to compilers and so. That's the way Ruben Dario got the lib working. May be later an expert in xHarbour can provide us with an script to get the lib built.

Hi Carlos.
I've not build the lib, I'm using the lib that I found on google group.
With another one I receive a linker error saying that the library is corrupt, but with this one the linker gives some
unresolved externals. So, I think that the library is compiled with XCC.
Thanks a lot.

Can you post the links of what you downloaded? I can't find in the pulic repositories nothing named haru.lib. There is an hbhpdf.lib and things like that, but no one with that name.
If you are using the professional version of xHarbour may be you should ask for support to your supplier, it is a propietary product.
If you try Harbour probably you can get better help, at least to what is related to HaruPdf.
We even have a library on top of hbhpdf to make easier the conversion of FW print commands to pdf, and handles and reduces the inconveniences of managing things like fonts, images, etc.

Please, can you post a simple demo.prg e where you downloaded the library/dll ?
tks

Hi.
I found the libraries and some demos here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.xharbour/obpzfHVJdfU

Hi.
I found these functions in harupdf.c that are not present inside my old xhb.com libraries.
In the new version there is no problem, I can compile the test and it is working perfectly.
I cannot rebuild this old procedure because of some incompatibility with new xhb.com version.
It is possible to replace these 4 functions with others ?

hb_arraySetND( info, 1, pt.x );

hb_arraySetNI( info, 1, dash.ptn[0] );

const char * pszFileName = hb_fsNameConv( hb_parc( 2 ), &pszFree );

hb_itemReturnRelease( info );

Thanks a lot.
