Hi ,

In earlies days xHarbour outruned Harbour . But yesterday I reviewed harbour-project pages and that surprised me ... It seems that today's Harbour is stable and robust tool . I want to try it . Today I'm using xHarbour + Bcc55 . And all programs I'm building through .bc file . Can somebody post here sample of .bc file for building aplication Harbour + Bc55 + Fwh ? Also , as I remember , Bcc55 gets enviroment settings from .cfg files . How to edit them ?

Many thanks in advance !

Rimantas,

Please check FWH\samples\buildh.bat to see the way to use Harbour and FWH.

Here you have the Borland C required settings:

Mr Rimantas

You made me look into harbour website. New design. I agree with you. Let us again have a serious look at migrating back to harbour.

By the way, they have HBSQLIT3 library for SQlite. You may like to review it

Hello,

I use xHarbour for several years now. But can someone tell me what the real difference is between Harbour and xHarbour ?

Thanks.

Now that is a GREAT question !!!

Antonio ,

With which C compilers can FWH work ? I know that BCC & MS VC it's working . I'm interesting in Gcc compiler . It seems that a new Fwh versions are working with that . What are requirements for that ? Maybe you can to say some words - it worst to change compiler from Bcc to Gcc , or not ? I read in Harbour site :
"The Harbour developers consider GNU GCC to be the supported compiler of the Harbour project, use of the GCC port for your chosen platform is encouraged."

I heard something that Gcc it's better than Bcc , but maybe I'm mistaked ...

Regards !

Rimantas,

> With which C compilers can FWH work ?

Borland, Microsoft and gcc (MinGW) are supported by FWH.

All of them work fine:

• Borland seems to be the most popular by FWH users.
• Microsoft is required for FWPPC ( FiveWin for Pocket PC) and for FWH64 (FWH 64 bits).
• gcc is required for FiveLinux and FiveMac.

Rimantas,

Please use

to build your PRG

Rimantas,

You have a working make example for multiple PRGs and C files, using Borland, in:

FWH\makes\BorMake.zip

and another using Microsoft:

FWH\makes\MsMake.zip

Rimantas,

Anyhow, we do recommend you UEStudio project manager, that works really fine with FWH.

You have UEStudio for FWH config files in:
FWH\UEStudio\FWH.zip

I use xHarbour for several years now. But can someone tell me what the real difference is between Harbour and xHarbour

I have followed both tracks and since Przemysław ( harbour MASTER ) has dedicated his talents from xHarb to Harbour .. I have noticed a very aggressive development or re-surgence in Harbour... specifically in MT ( multi threading ) capibility.

Since both tracks are open source ( view xHarb and Harbour change logs ) .. it seems both draw from each other and vice-versa. xHarbour does market themselves and has some very nice commercial tools ( e.g. xBuilder, visual de-bugger, sqllib, Visual xHb ) .. Each track has certain appeals to different developers and there is VALUE and a certain 'distinction' to each !!

I am watching this thread for some interesting answers or comments to your question !!

I use xHarbour primarily because of rmdbfcdx, which I understand Przemystaw developed. Does anyone have a comparison between rmdbfcdx in xHarbour and dbfcdx in harbour? Is there any Comix like functionality in Harbour?

Regards,
Randal
