Antonio:

Finally, I'd solved, almost all issues, using the SIX driver in the 32 bit environment. I'm linking with the commercial xHarbour compiler. Now, it's xHarbour Borland or Microsoft compiler based ? If the latter (Microsoft), how do I compile using FiveWin's BUILDX.BAT ? It's there a FiveWin version based on Microsoft ? As I understand FW is Borland based, right ? Thank you.

Gustavo

FWH provides libraries built both for Borland C and Microsoft C. Readme.txt file in \fwh\lib folder explains the appropriate libraries to link.

XHarbour commercial is compatible with Pelles C. Normally, FWH libraries meant for microsoft c work well with xHb. Minor issues can come up, which will be addressed and solutions suggested by Mr. Antonio. Alternatively. FWH libraries can be built at user's end by using the build file provided by xHb.

Thank you for your kind help. I substituted the library names in the BUILDX.BAT file, but now it is giving me linking errors for one library: Error: 'C:\XHB\LIB\SDE61.LIB' contains invalid OMF record, type 0x21 (possibly COFF)

That means that SDE61.LIB is to be used with Microsoft or PellesC, not with Borland

Antonio:

Does FiveWin incudes a linker for Microsoft C ? Is there a BUILDX.BAT file for use with Microsoft libraries and objects ?

Buildx.bat is to be used to build with Borland C with xharbour.
Buildxm.bat is to be used to build with Microsoft C with xHarbour.

Compilers and linkers are not part of FWH.

Thank you my friend.
