We can build Harbour with no problems at all on:

Windows
Windows Mobile
Windows 8 RT
Linux
Mac OSX
Apple iOS
Android
IBM OS2

For me thats a very good reason to use Harbour instead of xHarbour

If using xHarbour, are there many code changes needed to switch to harbour?

Thanks,

Jeff Barnes

I just switched to the path of Harbour3.2 (and using the proper library's), but there are a few things to change if you use the advanced power of this compilers... Nothing big, that can be sorted in a few minutes... I think...

I also included this code in one of my prg's:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

#ifndef __XHARBOUR__

    FUNCTION DbSkipper( n ) ; RETURN __DbSkipper( n )
    FUNCTION DbPack() ; RETURN __DbPack()
    FUNCTION DbZap() ; RETURN hb_DbZap()
    FUNCTION CurDrive( x ) ; RETURN hb_CurDrive( x )

   #command QUIT => ( PostQuitMessage( 0 ), __Quit() )

#EndIf

In my case I can switch from xHarbour to Harbour by just changing the Compiler profile in UEstudio...

About:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

   #command QUIT => ( PostQuitMessage( 0 ), __Quit() )

Long time back, when I used this command, the EXIT procedures declared in all modules stopped executing.

It is in these EXIT procedures we and FWH *may* release some resources, unload DLLs, etc.

Then I had to revert to the standard command as provided by (x)Harbour.

Well, I'm using FWH 12.04 with Harbour 3.2, and if I don't use it this way, my app stays running as an process...
