To Antonio or Rao: Linking errors

[HunterEC]

Guys:

I'm compiling a program that use the Hb_ZIPFILE function and I'm getting linking errors when compiling with buildx.bat. IF I use the xBuild Project Builder it links with no problems.
Errors:

Gustavo,

Please try to link cw32.lib from Borland C

[HunterEC]

Antonio:

The CW32.lib is already linked. Any other solution ? Thank you very much.

[Antonio Linares]

Gustavo,

Please search for "Xran" inside your Borland cw32.lib and check if it is there (you can use a binary editor)

In Borland 5.8.2 those symbols are inside cw32.lib

Antonio:

I switched to BCC 5.82 and now got this other linker problem:

Fatal: Unable to open file 'UUID.LIB'
* Linking errors *

The UUID.LIB is available in the %bcdir%\lib folder. I test for its existence with these two lines in the buildx.bat (I get the FILE EXIST ! message echoed at the console):

Code: Select all  Expand view

IF EXIST %bcdir%\lib\uuid.lib ECHO FILE EXIST !
PAUSE
 

Is there an easy way to switch to a Microsoft C compiler instead of using Borland's ? Maybe as a first step to go to VS2010 or later. Any suggestions ?

[Antonio Linares]

Did you solve your link issue with Harbour uuid.lib ? that should work fine

You can use Visual Studio 2012 Express with Harbour and FWH. Please review FWH/samples/buildh32.bat

Antonio:

I still have the message:

Code: Select all  Expand view

Turbo Incremental Link 5.69 Copyright (c) 1997-2005 Borland
Fatal: Unable to open file 'UUID.LIB'
* Linking errors *

I don't have the BUILDH32.BAT in my samples folder (FW 10.6).

[Antonio Linares]

Gustavo,

> Fatal: Unable to open file 'UUID.LIB'

Please copy it to the folder where you are building your EXE (this should not be needed but it helps on this error sometimes)

> I don't have the BUILDH32.BAT in my samples folder (FW 10.6).

You can not use FWH 10.6 with Visual Studio, sorry. FWH 13.08 runs nicely with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012

[HunterEC]

Antonio:

After copying the UUID.LIB everything linked ok. I will test the program later. Do you have any sort of guide on how to setup / migrate to VS 2010/2012 ? I will upgrade to the latest FW as soon as you point me in the right direction. I'm leaving xHarbour in favor of Harbour and Borland C to MS C. Thank you.

[Antonio Linares]

Gustavo,

If you review FWH\samples\buildh32.bat you will see how to build your apps using Harbour and Visual Studio 2012 Express.

We also provide with FWH a Microsoft makefile to build your app using the Microsoft make. Please review FWH\makes folder.

And finally, you can even build your Harbour and FWH app from the Visual Studio IDE itself:

Antonio:

Thank you very much ! Everything working ok. Time to upgrade FW.
