64 bit Linux
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 09:18 AM

I am trying to get my code running on 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10. That means I have tbuild harbour and / or xHarbour as 64 bit. I can build Harbour successfully (I think) but Harbour doesn't seem to have the Inet classes I need for my applications to work

I have never been able to build xHarbour from source. After I installed bison and subsequently unilxODBC-dev the process went much further but now I get error messages about missing gpm functions. I installed gpm but that hasn't helped. Perhaps I need to add a library reference somewhere, but where and how I don't know.

It would be great to know if

  1. I can use the Inet functionality from Harbour and / or

  2. How to build (a 64 bit version) of xHarbour

Thanks
Doug

Resolved

I had run sudo apt-get install libgpm-dev but libgpm.so was only in /usr/lib. With a libgpm.so in /usr/lib64 all went well. (Just do not know how it got there when it didn't show up before).

In summary, as well as downloading the from the xHarbour site I had to install the following:

bison
unixODBC-dev
libgpm-dev
