How do xHarbour and Harbour compatible?

[dutch]

I would like to know, if I move from xHarbour (1.2.3)+BCC582 to Harbour 3.2.0+MSVC2010.

How do they compatible?

Thanks in advance.

Dutch,

You may easily migrate from xHarbour to Harbour in just few days

You will have all my support and these forums support also

[Antonio Linares]

It may be quite interesting that we detail here all the required changes, so it will help to other users wanting to migrate to Harbour and Microsoft Visual C

You can easilly migrate from xharbour to harbour

I have added in my main program the following (maybe now it is not needed anymore, Antonio ?)

#ifndef __XHARBOUR__
FUNCTION DbSkipper( n ) ; RETURN __DbSkipper( n )
FUNCTION DbPack() ; RETURN __DbPack()
FUNCTION DbZap() ; RETURN hb_DbZap()
FUNCTION CurDrive( x ) ; RETURN hb_CurDrive( x )
#EndIf

it is almost all i had to do , except for Activex where you need to use the tactivex function that Antonio updated intensively.

Dear Antonio,

It will be helpful for who need to move from and to between xHarbour+BCC32 and Harbour+MSVC2010.

It may be quite interesting that we detail here all the required changes, so it will help to other users wanting to migrate to Harbour and Microsoft Visual C

Thanks in advance.

Antonio,

I have downloaded the last Harbour that is uploaded from you. There is no xhb.ch and hbcompat.ch in include directory.

Don't we need this files in last Harbour? or are they forgetten?
(I have copied them from previous Harbour versions)

Thanks.

Hakan,

We don't include xhb.ch and hbcompat.ch as they are not in the include folder of Harbour, in fact they are kept in Harbour contribs folder:

https://github.com/harbour/core/tree/master/contrib/xhb

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

Is Harbour+MSVC2010 also just creating 1 exe-file like xHarbour+BCC32 does, or does it need some DLL's to be installed for running?

[Antonio Linares]

Marc,

No DLLs required. Just a single EXE

[norberto]

I am doing this migration also could not create (or use this topic), for future users who also want to do?
I have a doubt, I can use vs 2012? is the same process of vs 2010?

My idea is use VS2012 to my Windows phone projects and also to compile my applications in FWH, I wonder if everything works that way.

[Antonio Linares]

Norberto,

Yes, you can use VS2012. I have been able to built my apps using Harbour + FWH + MSVS2012

Also, the VS2012 debugger is great. I do recommend it, for low level debugging of our apps.

[norberto]

Antonio, this is great, has some thread in the Forum with guides? and for the resources? It would be very productive if we could use VS as an IDE for harbour + fwh, it seems that the express version is free for everyone.

[Antonio Linares]

Norberto,

Yes, we can use the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE

https://code.google.com/p/fivewinrt/wiki/How_to_build_Harbour_for_WinRT

Here it is working fine

I discovered one more thing that is important with the MSVC builds ( 2010 or 2012 )

Be sure to add c:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE to your path. There are a few .dll files that are used when you use the Windows compiler and linker that are present I that folder.

The ONLY issue I have right now with MSVC is with RDDADS. I'm still having a problem getting it to actually work with ADS 7 or 8, but it works perfectly with version 9 and above.

I would strongly encourage people to make the move. It is clearly time.
