Dear Jimmy,

Up to recently we used the same folders configuration as Clipper: bin, lib, include folders.

But as we can build in 32 or 64 bits, using Borland, Microsoft or MinGW, we have decided to respect the same directory structure as Harbour uses:

harbour/bin/win/bcc
harbour/bin/win/msvc
harbour/bin/win/msvc64
harbour/bin/win/mingw
etc...

from FWH 22.06 on we are using this folders structure, so you can easily build using 32 or 64 bits, or using any of those compilers. That would be impossible
using harbour/bin only. The same structure applies for the lib folder.

regards, saludos

hi Antonio,

i´m not sure about your last Answer which seems have to do with harbour/Bin ...
> bin, lib, include folders.

my "Problem" is c:\fwh\dll\fwdbg.dll which is "unknown" when not using c:\fwh\samples\

---

i have create Sub-Folder under C:\fwh for my own Project

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

c:\fwh\0\VLC\

now i have to "copy" fwdbg.dll into Folder to make it work

i have try to include c:\fwh\dll into PATH but still got Warning "not found"

Question : is there any "SET FWDEBUG ="

greeting,

Jimmy

Dear Jimmy,

You have to copy fwdbg.dll where your EXE is placed

Debug is a very handy tool to have .. you can debug also and trap values at runtime with Msginfo() .. you can easily evaluate memory variables, module tracing, etc ....
