Upgrading FWH/xHarbour & VS 2010

[DonDrew]

It's solved.

Thanks, Antonio.

[Antonio Linares]

glad to hear that

[DonDrew]

Is there any way that I can force Harbour to write its warnings to a text file?

[Antonio Linares]

Don,

Have you tried redirecting its output ?

harbour.exe /n tes.prg > comp.log

[DonDrew]

Yes, I did.

$(HBDIR)bin\harbour $< /n /w2 /o$(CSRCDIR) /i$(FWDIR)include;$(HBDIR)include > Warnings.log

The actual warnings scroll to the screen.

This is what appears in Warnings.log:

Don,

I was able to redirect that output in Harbour but had to change some code in harbour compiler.

In other words, to have that, you need a non standard Harbour. Or it can be reported to the Harbour developers list and wait for them to attend your request.

[DonDrew]

My goodness, Antonio, I hadn't expected you to go to all that effort. Thank you!

If it makes sense to add the ability to direct warnings to a text file to future versions of Harbour, please do. In the meantime I'll find another way of capturing the warnings.

Again, thanks for your help.

Saludos,
Don

Don,

No problem, I already had done it for my own needs in the past

There is a standard way in Harbour to redirect those outputs, but there was no agreement to change its behavior (suplying a parameter from the command line, etc)

Anyhow, if we need it, you can have it

[DonDrew]

Yes, Antonio, I would love to have that feature as soon as it is available.

[Antonio Linares]

Don,

I have asked it on the Harbour devel list to wait for an "official" answer
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/harbour-devel/o6dwjM2G-S0

Anyhow, I found my notes about the research that I did for it:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

In harbour/src/compiler/hbmain.c:

static void * pOutStdFunc = NULL;
static void * pOutErrFunc = NULL;

void setOutStd( void * p )
{
  pOutStdFunc = p;
}

void setOutErr( void * p )
{
  pOutErrFunc = p;
}

en int hb_compMainExt():

  HB_COMP_PARAM->pOutPath = NULL;

  if( pOutStdFunc )
     HB_COMP_PARAM->outStdFunc = pOutStdFunc;

  if( pOutErrFunc )
     HB_COMP_PARAM->outErrFunc = pOutErrFunc;

Don,

On the Harbour list a "tee" utility was suggested:
http://www.commandline.co.uk/mtee/index.html

but I have tested it here (unless I did it wrong) and it does not redirect the Harbour warnings...

[DonDrew]

I couldn't make it work either, Antonio.

For now I'm just going to be content to wait for the official Harbour version.

[Antonio Linares]

Don,

I found a really easy way to redirect the warnings!

As easy as:

harbour -n -I... myapp 2>warnings.log
@type warnings.log

Please notice that 2 and > have to be together. so this is valid "2> warnings.log" but this will not work: "2 > warnings.log"

We have modified FWH samples\buildh.bat so from now on, warnings will be redirected to warnings.log

[DonDrew]

Brilliant, Antonio, it worked!

I had tried that but with the space btw the '2' and '>.'

Thanks!

Don,

All the problems you have had setting up a new compiler, illustrate why it is important to start out with just a simple "Hello World" program instead of a complex one. This eliminates all the possible issues with your complex program so you only have to deal with issues with the new compiler.
