Convert DOS application(s) to Harbour <== LIB compatibility

[Antonio Linares]

You need a compatible version with MinGW

[elrosa]

Is there a way to find out which compiler is compatible with this library? Is there a fingerprint left by the compiler used to create the prohp lib/obj?

That lib is probably a 16 bit lib so it's not compatible at all with any 32 bit compiler.

I am afraid it is also

So that means I have to strip al print functionalities...

Oslib and CTP lib are also not compatible, but do not know yet which functions are effected. Will find out after stripping print ...

The Lfn lib (http://www.ousob.com/ng/lfnlib/ng1a2d0.php) is linked, but it doesn't work. I suppose there will be a similar function(s) which could do the same within Harbour?

So probably the worst case I am looking at is rebuilding all the output forms. Any suggestions for quickly rebuilding output forms?

[elrosa]

Oke, dbfcdx.lib also not recognized?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

What compiler are you using? If Harbour try rddcdx.lib.

Grrrr... let me quess... Clipper FPT isn't compatible also with Harbour

I cannot open any DBF with FPT associated (that is probably the DBFCDX/1001 error I am getting, because any DBF without FPT is opened with no problem)

Is there a way to make these DBF/FPT Harbour compatible without losing any data in the FPT (memo)

xHarbour: dbffpt.lib
Harbour: rddfpt.lib

[elrosa]

Nop, still getting the 'DBFCDX/1001 Open error' message...

I found the following on this board:

If you are working with DBF/CDX/FPT files created with Clipper, Comix or Six Driver, let me tell you that those FPT files are not compatible with xHarbour FPT structure, this is due because Clipper and friends create FPT files with a "memblock" size of 16 bytes which is not compatible with (x)Harbour FPT memoblock, which is 64 bytes long, so any operation performed over the memofile will fail.

Is this not the problem I am facing?

Here my HBP file.

Can you send me the DBF and the FTP to test them here?

EMG

[elrosa]

Done, send by wetranser to email: e.m.giordano@emagsoftware.it

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Your database opens fine here. Let's make one step at a time. Are you using Harbour or xHarbour?

EMG

[elrosa]

Harbour from https://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/

Ok, so you have to link at least these libs:
