Fivewin and Microsoft VS2010 VC (visual C)

[lucasdebeltran]

Hi,

We need to use Microsoft compiler instead of Borland BCC so as in the future produce 64 bits exe. The first step .

Now I just want to produce 34 bits executables with Microsoft compiler.

But here I am confused. There are many versions of that compiler.

What should I use?.

Where I can find it?.


Also, should I have a Harbour built with Microsoft or I can still use Harbour provided for BCC?.

Thank you very much.

you should build with Microsoft

[lucasdebeltran]

Daniel,

Thank you very much for quick answer!!.

Please, can you include this post in the wiki?. It may help other users.

Also, I will apreciate if you could indicate me a .zip file like http://www.fivetechsoft.com/files/softw ... 4_2010.zip as the install from Microsoft installs a lot of garbage.

Thank you so much. Best regards,

Lucas,

First, several of us have been using Harbour, FWH, and Microsoft VC 2010 for about a year. A lot of work went into the refinement but it all works well now. You can use Visual Studio 2010, or try VC Express ( the Free version ). Now that it has gone RTM, I expect to try builds with Visual Studio 2012 when I get the final build ( hopefully the 15th of this month ). I will report back on that.

Tim,

Thank you for your feedback.

Why did you change into MSVC?.

I did some tests and it seems as fast as BCC 5.82. I can´t see the diferences.

But MSVC does not have de make utility such in Borland (make -ffwh.mak). What do you use instead?.

[Antonio Linares]

Lucas,

Microsoft, of course, also provides a make utility named nmake.exe

In FWH makes folder there is an example of its use

[lucasdebeltran]

Antonio,

Thanks very much.

I open it but I am afraid it is not for MSVC 2010.

It says "FiveTech Software 2005" and vc98.

Is there any updated version?.


Also, MSVC 2010 supports .rc files make with Workshop?.

Thank you very much and sorry to bother you, but I have to start the path to produce 64 bits.


BTW, Embarcadero is going to launch a 64 bits version very soon of BCC.

[Antonio Linares]

Lucas,

The idea is to use it as a template. Of course, there are some changes to done for each MSVC version, in example:

go.bat:

c:\"Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0"\VC\bin\nmake -ftest.mak

[Antonio Linares]

HBDIR=c:\harbour
FWDIR=c:\fwh
VCDIR=c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\
SDKDIR=c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\

[lucasdebeltran]

Antonio,

Thanks. I know that I must change paths.

But I think switches should be updated to!!.

And also, maybe some libs are missing.

Please, when you have time it should be very interesting to have the make files updated for MSVC 2010.

Thank you very much.

[lucasdebeltran]

Up.

Here is a complete and tested make file for Microsoft VS2010 working real fine

Please notice that VS2010 does not provide a rc.exe (resources compiler) so we are using the one from VC98 or any other VC version.

Thanks a lot.

Please, can you include in next FWH\makes?. I say it for other and future users.

[Antonio Linares]

Lucas,

Included for next build
