compiling

[dtussman]

I am trying to recompile an old application using FWH1507 but am confused. Apparently you have to use Borland 7 with that but I can find no reference anywhere on the web to a version 7 of Borland. If I try to compile with Boland 5.5 I get all kinds of strange errors, but I don't know if that is the cause of it. James Bott was initially helping me with this but I can't get ahold of him.

I will be more specific:

James Bott wrote the following go.bat file to begin the compiling process:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

if not exist obj md obj
c:\bcc582\bin\make -ftp.mak >test.log

rem del *.map
rem del *.ppo
rem del *.tds

pause

The tp.mak file looks like this:

I think, You defined a wrong Borland C
You are using < Borland C++ 5.5.1 >
You can download bcc582 within the forum

The make-file You are using defined :

HBDIR=c:\xharbour
BCDIR=c:\bcc582
FWDIR=c:\fwh

best regards
Uwe

[dtussman]

thanks ukoenig, I got bcc582 installed but, when I run go.bat it tries to run the make file in bcc582/bin and there is no make.exe file in that folder! There is an hbmake which I tried but when I run that the screen just goes blank.

[Antonio Linares]

You have to properly set the bcc config files:

Thanks to Antonio I got the bcc7 files and was able to compile successfully all 250,000 lines of my source code. However, I am very confused about the libraries. Previously I was using a version of xharbour from 2007. I upgraded to an august 2015 version and I notice that all the library names have changed, and there is no obvious correspondence between the old names and the new names. But even if I just try to use all the new libraries I get error messages to the effect that the library "contains invalid 0MF record". None of the documentation or samples I could find address this.

[Antonio Linares]

Usually you get the error "contains invalid 0MF record" when you use wrong libraries for the C compiler that you are using.

What libraries names are you using ?

[dtussman]

Amazing Antonio! That was it, somehow I had downloaded the wrong files from xharbour. Now it all works. Thanks! Since I was using 8 year old versions of everything this is all new to me. Love the new Preview features but one strange thing--after previewing a report when I close the preview the dialog I was just at is now maximized.

[Antonio Linares]

after previewing a report when I close the preview the dialog I was just at is now maximized

We have not been able to reproduce it here with our examples

Could you provide a small example to reproduce it ? thanks

[James Bott]

David,

when I close the preview the dialog I was just at is now maximized.

Are you sure it is a dialog and not a window?

James

[dtussman]

James!! You are there!!! I was wondering what happened to you. And yes, of course you are right, it is a window. Amazingly, with a couple of tips from Antonio I was able to get the program compiled with FWH 1507 and it runs fine after a few tweaks, issue with Preview being one of the few remaining.

[dtussman]

James, Just added "nomaximize" when defining the window and that fixes the issue with Preview. No reason anyone would want to maximize that window anyway.

Hello everyone.
My project contains 650 prg files, use xHarbour 123, FWH1709 and BCC72, I would like to migrate to VSCode, what would be the best and fastest way to assemble a .bat file for compilation? Today I use xmate that generates internally without the need for a .bat file. Thankful in advance.
