I really want to migrate to Harbour from xHarbour, but I need some feedback from community, I need to know if the combination will work properly

Harbor +
FWH +
Borlnad C +
ADS +
FastReport

Hi Marcelo,
I noticed several of you are moving from xHarbour to Harbour,
is there any issue ? Just a curriosity.

Marcelo,

I prefer:

Harbour +
FWH +
Microsoft C +
DBFCDX +
FastReport

To me works very well

[Marcelo Via Giglio]

Thanks,

for response, but my requirements are ADS + FR, I can think to change the C compiler but not the other components, then, I wait for more feedback, I hope someone is using ADS( ADT files ) + FR + HB

regards

Marcelo

Marco,

I experienced some errors with xHarbour which aren't happening with Harbour (often index files are getting corrupt without any reason).

Antonio advised me to test it with Harbour. And suddenly the index errors are gone.

Michel, so glad to hear the problems went away

Hello to all,

maybe I need to be clear, I know that Harbour is better than xHarbour, it is the razon because I want to migrate but, what I need to know if I will have problems with my requirements, ADS( adt ) + FastReport

Do you think somebody are using Harbour + ADS( adt ) + FastReport ?

best regards

Marcelo

[Antonio Linares]

Marcelo,

Yes, you can use ADS and FR with Harbour, no problem at all

[Marcelo Via Giglio]

Antonio,

thanks for all, I downloaded the Harbour's source for build RDDADS only, I am using the Harbour provided for Fivetech and
For the first test, I get this error: Unresolved external '_HB_FUN__CLSACTIVE'

some help?

regards

Marcelo

Marcelo,

Please post a self contained example to reproduce that error, thanks

Also check that you are using the right path for the header files and remember to recompile all your PRGs and libraries (in case that you have xharbour compiled code in them)

Antonio,

what is the official source for downloading Harbour binaries for BCC582?

EMG

[Antonio Linares]

Enrico,

The official instructions are given here:
https://github.com/harbour/core

According to it, binaries should be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/

but as you can check for yourself, it is not properly updated.

thats why we use our own binaries that you can download from here:
https://code.google.com/p/harbour-and-xharbour-builds/downloads/detail?name=harbour_bcc582_20131007.zip

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Antonio,

downloaded, thank you!

For the first test, I get this error: Unresolved external '_HB_FUN__CLSACTIVE'

We get this error when xharbour and harbour obj/lib files are mixed up.
I keep switching between harbour and xharbour for testing my work and I get this familiar error whenever I am careless to re-compile all sources.

Any news about TRY/CATCH/END implementation in Harbour?
