FiveTech Support Forums

I just got a new laptop, and this used to be a happy time in my life, now it seems to mean work. I moved my programming enfornment over which is FiveWin for Harbour, Harbour, Bcc7, and tools. Moved a project over and attempted to compile and link and got an error "can't open uuid.lib". I took a look at the b32.bc file and it has the correct path to the lib. Copied uuid.lib over to the application directory and it works fine. Anybody know what I am missing. I tried moving the order in the .mak file but still not difference.

Dear Byron,

Yes, thats the solution, to copy it to the app folder.

Don't know why, but it works 👍🏻

Byron,

You have something wrong in your configuration files. You don't need uuid.lib at all.

OK, here is a little update, seems if I place a bcc7 folder with all the files on the C drive problem goes away without having uuid.lib in the application directory. I believe that it is the configuration file but I don't know how to fix it. When I look at the bcccomp.log file it has a reference to the c: drive, but I don't see any referece in the '.mak' file. I assume it must default to c somewhere. I could solve this whole thing if I didn't use the e drive, but my e drive is twice as fast, it is the newer Gen 5 m.2 ssd. Now I am just trying to learn something I obviously don't know. I will upload my mak file to perplexity and see what it knows.

Thanks,

Byron ...

In the folder\BCC77\BIN there is a file bcc32.cfg In line -Ic:\bcc77\include\windows\crtl;c:\bcc77\include\windows\sdk;c:\bcc77\include\dinkumware replace disk c:, for example, on a disk e: -Ic:\bcc77\include\windows\crtl;e:\bcc77\include\windows\sdk;e:\bcc77\include\dinkumware

That's why I'm using

-I@\..\include\windows\crtl;@\..\include\windows\sdk;@\..\include\dinkumware

so it works in any drive and path.
