Can we turn off FWDbg ? No .dll found !

[TimStone]

I recently downloaded 10.05. I'm working with an XML transmission and I get an alert that says "FWDbg.dll not found. Impossible to continue".

I assume there is a call to SET RESOURCES TO "FWDbg.dll", and when it can't be found, I get the alert. However, when pressing OK, the code then executes properly.

I cannot find FWDbg.dll anywhere and it would appear it is an older file no longer distributed.

Could some code have been left in a .prg from testing that would be calling this

I did a text scan of all my code and it isn't used anywhere. The new libs I'm using don't even use FW.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If we can't find the source of the call, then getting a copy of FWDbg.dll would at least eliminate the error.

Hello Tim,
do you use UeStudio. If so there is a combobox where you can select Release or Debug mode.

I use xHarbour xBuilder. Certainly there must be a call to turn off the debugger that I can put into my code, but I cannot find anything in the docs or these forums.

Is their a SET option that can be used in the MAIN( ) program ?

I do have the debugger options un-checked in xBuilder

[TimStone]

Anyone ? Please ?

Hello Tim,

If you see this alert message, you have some flag of debugging in the compiler (/b). This activates the internal debugger and activates FWDbg. If not found FwDbg.dll then the message appears.

Can you see this dll in dll folder of fwh ?

[TimStone]

I only have default flags set for the compiler, and the link script has all references to debug as .F.

No, the .dll is not in the latest FWH folder ( 10.05 ).

Is there a flag to force it to not debug ?

Tim,

FWdbg only work fine in Harbour and xHarbour, but not in xH builder. I dont understand why you app start FWDbg if u dont have any flag of debugging. I think that xH builder have their debug. I think that you can have problems using FWDbg. I will try to solve possible bugs in Harbour and xHarbour. I don't use xHarbour Builder, i'm sorry

[TimStone]

The xBuilder debug options are all OFF. I never had this problem before but now I'm using some new libs. Debug is NOT implemented in any of them.

Tim,

If you compile for example tutor01.prg , appears the alert message of FWDbg.dll again ?

Tim,

getting the same error message.

This message comes up, if some debug codes are still in any obj-files when building the project without debug flag.

For me 'Force clean build' turn off this error message

[TimStone]

Unfortunately Force Rebuild didn't do the job here ... I've tried it a couple of times. I had to remove the error message from the source and link the FWdbg.prg file into my code.

I don't understand why it would even call a file that doesn't exist in the current build ( FWDbg.dll ). Secondly, I never use the debugger and my xBuilder has never had the debugger flags turned on.

Finally, I don't know why there is not a flag, ie. SET FWDEBUG OFF that would disable it completely.

I'd sure appreciate some answers to this.

Tim

Tim,

I'll try to help you but u have to know that i don't use xH builder. I'm thinking that Frank have reason and i think the same. Is posible that you have some obj compiled with a flag /b. Can you delete all obj's and rebuild all your app ? And another question, if you compile with you environment for example tutor01 of fwh, also appears message alert ?

Hiho, I'm having the same problem with UEStudio, I wonder if they found a solution to the case. Grateful

I you have no linenumbers inside your errorlog remove this flag.
