FiveTech Support Forums

Currently there are several options for building applications with FWH. I would like to know what people find works best for them, and why. You might mention the version of the compiler you use, and where it is available. I think this covers the options:

xHarbour ( commercial ) : With xBuilder, this is easy to use. The Pelles C compiler is included.

xHarbour ( distributed with FWH ):

Microsoft C:

Borland C:

Hi Tim:

From my very beginning with FWH I have used xHarbour (distributed with FWH) and Borland as C/Resource compiler without a single problem.

To build my applications I use UEstudio and I'm fully satisfied.

Best regards.

Manuel Mercado.

Tim, i use since begin of fwh:

Xharbour CVS (or last stable), bcc 551, borland resource workshop, iam studing migrate to uestudio.

without any problems. i already try harbour too.

Dear Tim,

I've used xBuilder for a year, it is easy when I migrate from FW16bits and support many useful function.

Unfortunately, FWH lib must be re-compile everytime of new issue. When FW has new enhance features that not include in xBuilder script (re-compile FWH lib), I will got the error. xHarbour.com is excellent tool if you use all of thier featues (Visual xHb, script and etc.).

Now I try xHb (FW Distributed) + BCC551 + Uestudio and no problem for a year. It take only a day to learn how to use it.

Regards,
Dutch

Where is a good place to download BCC 551 ?

Got it ...

Now for my next ( last ? ) question. I know there is a subject on the forum for how to setup / use UE Studio for building an application with bcc 551. I just can't seem to get the search terms right to find it.

I have all the elements ...now I need the build script. I'm doing this so I can compare the results of my Borland build vs Pelles ( and xBuilder ).

Thanks.

Tim,

The configuration files are in the FW\UESTUDIO directory (in later versions of FW).

For more details, try searching for:

ue studio -visual

This will eliminate the references to visual studio.

Tim,

This video that Otto recorded may help you:

There is a link shown on the screen for the setup files but it appears to not be there anymore. It includes a build script.

I realize UE Studio already has that built in, but I'd like one already configured for Borland 551 so I don't make setup mistakes.

Thanks.

We use UEStudio for all our developments.

It is a great tool

I have had UE Studio for a year. My biggest issue is the formatting of code ... it just doesn't handle it well.

I have Multi Edit also. The only problem I had with that was a broken Macro recorder in Vista but that was just fixed.

I'm using ME on my main machine with xHB. I'm using Multi Edit Studio on my laptop with Borland / xHarbour ( from the FWH distribution ). Hopefully I can pull it all together next week and see how the two compare.

Dutch,

Thank you for the files. I'll know more next week when I try working with them. I've done well with xHB but I do want to compare
