Viktor Szakats 7eb4de41a3 2009-08-17 11:46 UTC+0200 Viktor Szakats (harbour.01 syenar.hu) 
* contrib/hbxbp/tests/demoxbp.prg
    ! Opening test.dbf in RO mode to avoid it being update.
      Couldn't spot the code which touched it.

  * config/global.cf
    - Deleted unused and commented code section.

  * INSTALL
    - Deleted HB_INSTALL_PREFIX from quickstart instructions.
    ! Modified hbmk2 hello.prg command to work on *nixes.
      (I never tried this default scenario though)
    * Modified non-*nix hbmk2 commands to look more natural
      and similar to *nix.
    - Deleted mingw32-make as suggested tool for dos builds done
      on NT hosts. It chokes with too long cmdline with mingw32-make.

  * bin/hb-mkdyn.sh
    - Deleted wininet from wce liblist.

HARBOUR
=======
"The Harbour Project is a Free Open Source Software effort to build
a multiplatform Clipper language compiler. Harbour consists of the
xBase language compiler and the runtime libraries with different
terminal plugins and different databases (not just DBF)"
http://www.harbour-project.org/
HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL HARBOUR FROM SOURCE
============================================
NOTE: Before reporting a problem on the mailing list, please make
sure to read the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this file.
For all platforms you'll need:
* Supported ANSI C compiler
* GNU Make (3.81 or upper)
* Harbour sources (2.0.0 or upper)
Linux/Darwin
------------
[ $ export HB_COMPILER=<gcc|watcom|icc|sunpro> ]
$ make install
To test it, type:
$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
BSD/HP-UX/Solaris
-----------------
[ $ export HB_COMPILER=<gcc|sunpro> ]
$ gmake install
To test it, type:
$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
NOTE for sunpro on Solaris:
---------------------------
If you have any GNU binutils stuff installed, do make sure
/usr/ccs/bin (the location of the native Sun C compilation
system tools) come *before* the GNU binutils components in
your $PATH.
Windows/Windows CE
------------------
Platform specific prerequisites:
1.) Windows NT or compatible system is required to build Harbour.
2.) Make sure to have your C compiler of choice properly installed
(in PATH). Refer to your C compiler installation and setup
instructions for details. It's recommended to make sure no tools
in your PATH belonging to other C compilers are interfering with
your setup. For the list of supported compilers, please look up
the relevant section in this file.
3.) You need to get GNU Make. We recommend this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Make/Current%20Release_%20mingw32-make-3.81-20080326/mingw32-make-3.81-20080326-3.tar.gz/download
Unpack it to your PATH or Harbour source root directory.
If you use MinGW compiler, you already have GNU Make.
For convenience you may also use included config/mingw32-make.exe instead.
[ > set HB_COMPILER=<mingw|msvc|watcom|bcc|pocc|cygwin|...> ]
> mingw32-make install
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
NOTES: - <DIR> is your destination directory where executables,
libraries and headers will be created. Use absolute paths
only. For a peace of mind, avoid using spaces, quotes
in the name. You can leave it empty, in this case the
results will be created under the current directory tree.
- You can also use Linux hosts to create Windows builds.
See script: make_gnu_xmingw.sh
- You can also use Linux hosts to create Windows CE builds.
See script: make_gnu_xmingwce.sh
Windows with MSYS or Cygwin shells
----------------------------------
You can also use these shells to build Harbour on Windows.
Generally it's recommended to use native shell though.
[ > set HB_COMPILER=<...> ]
> sh -c make install
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
NOTES: - With cygwin, <DIR> should use Cygwin drive
notation: /cygdrive/c for C:
- When building for Borland C make sure that
GNU Make is executed when typing 'make',
Borland Make has the same name.
MS-DOS
------
You can use MS-DOS or Windows NT compatible hosts to create DOS builds.
1.) Make sure to have your C compiler of choice properly installed
(in PATH).
2.) You need to get GNU Make. We recommend this link:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mak381b.zip
Unpack it to your PATH or Harbour source root directory.
For convenience you may also use included config/dj-make.exe instead.
[ > set HB_COMPILER=<djgpp|watcom> ]
> make install
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
OS/2
----
You can use OS/2, Windows NT compatible, or Linux hosts to create
OS/2 builds.
Some config tricks are required when non-OS/2 host is used, see in
examples.
1.) You need to get GNU Make. If you use OS/2 host, we recommend this link:
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/util/make-3.81-r2-bin-static.zip
If you use other host, please refer to other platform instructions
in this section.
[ > set HB_COMPILER=<gcc|watcom> ]
> make install
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
HOW TO ENABLE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS BEFORE BUILD
==============================================
Some Harbour parts (typically contrib libraries) depend on 3rd
party components. To make these Harbour parts built, you need
to tell Harbour where to find the required 3rd party components
(typically headers).
On *nix systems most of these 3rd party components will
automatically be picked up if installed on some well-known
standard system locations.
You only need to use manual setup if the dependency isn't available
on your platform on a system location, or you wish to use
a non-standard location. Typically you need to do that on non-*nix
(Windows/MS-DOS/OS2) systems for all packages and for a few packages on
*nix which aren't available through official package managers
(ADS Client f.e.). Please see a list of official packages in
doc/linux1st.txt.
You can set these environment variables before starting
the build. Make sure to adjust them to your own directories:
HB_INC_ADS=C:\ads\acesdk
HB_INC_ALLEGRO=C:\allegro\include
HB_INC_BLAT=C:\blat\full\source
HB_INC_CURL=C:\curl\include
HB_INC_FIREBIRD=C:\Firebird\include
HB_INC_FREEIMAGE=C:\FreeImage\Dist
HB_INC_GD=C:\gd\include
HB_INC_LIBHARU=C:\libharu\include (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_INC_LIBPNG=C:\libpng (defaults to locally hosted version on win/dos/os2)
HB_INC_MYSQL=C:\mysql\include
HB_INC_ODBC= (may only be needed on non-Windows systems)
HB_INC_OPENSSL=C:\openssl\inc32
HB_INC_PGSQL=C:\pgsql\include
HB_INC_QT=C:\Qt\include
HB_INC_SQLITE3=C:\sqlite3 (defaults to locally hosted version on win/dos/os2)
NOTES: - For MinGW + MSYS and Cygwin you have to use forward slashes
and also Cygwin drive notation for Cygwin.
- Spaces in directory names aren't currently supported.
(You can use short name alias on Windows platform, though)
- Don't put directory names inside double quotes.
- Use absolute paths.
Windows/Windows CE
------------------
Some contribs support build mode in which they can be linked *statically*
with 3rd party components:
HB_ALLEGRO_STATIC=yes
HB_QT_STATIC=yes
Darwin (OS X)
-------------
1.) Install MacPorts, follow their instructions:
http://www.macports.org/
2.) sudo port install allegro freeimage gd2 mysql5-devel postgresql83

OPTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN BUILDING HARBOUR
=======================================
You can fine-tune Harbour builds with below listed
environment variables. All of these are optional.
General
-------
- HB_COMPILER Override C compiler autodetection
- HB_ARCHITECTURE Override architecture autodetection
See this secion for possible values:
SUPPORTED C COMPILERS UNDER DIFFERENT PLATFORMS
- HB_USER_PRGFLAGS User Harbour compiler options
- HB_USER_CFLAGS User C compiler options
- HB_USER_LDFLAGS User linker options for executables
- HB_USER_AFLAGS User linker options for libraries
- HB_INSTALL_PREFIX Target root directory to install Harbour files.
This will default to Harbour source tree.
- HB_BIN_INSTALL Target directory to install executables
- HB_LIB_INSTALL Target directory to install libraries
- HB_INC_INSTALL Target directory to install language headers
- HB_DOC_INSTALL Target directory to install documentation
Special
-------
- HB_BUILD_NAME=<name> Create named build. This allows to keep
multiple builds in parallel for any given
architecture/compiler. F.e. debug / release.
NOTE: In current implementation it's
appended to compiler directory name, so all
filesystem/platform name rules and limits
apply. It's valid to use (back)slashes though.
- HB_BUILD_PKG=yes Create release packages (requires 'clean install').
- HB_BUILD_DLL=no Don't create Harbour .dlls.
- HB_BUILD_IMPLIB=yes Create import libraries for external .dll dependencies.
- HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes Create a debug build.
- HB_BUILD_OPTIM=no Disable C compiler optimizations.
- HB_BUILD_UNICODE=yes Create Unicode build (Windows/Windows CE).
- HB_BUILD_MODE=[cpp|c] Changes default build mode to C++ or C.
Default is C, except for msvc* and watcom
compilers.
- HB_CONTRIBLIBS=no Don't build any contrib libraries.
- HB_CONTRIBLIBS=[<list>] Build space separated <list> of contrib
libraries. Build all if left empty.
- HB_CONTRIB_ADDONS=<list> Build space separated <list> of additional
libraries stored in the contrib directory.
- HB_EXTERNALLIBS=no Don't build any external libraries.
- HB_EXTERNALLIBS=[<list>] Build space separated <list> of external
libraries. Build all if left empty.
- HB_EXTERNAL_ADDONS=<list> Build space separated <list> of additional
libraries stored in the external directory.
- HB_VISUALC_VER_PRE80=yes Set this if you're using a pre-8.0
(= pre-MSVS 2005) version of MSVC compiler.
- HB_REBUILD_PARSER=yes To rebuild the language parsers. Typically
you only need this if your are Harbour core
developer modifying the parser.
This requires GNU Bison 1.28 or upper in PATH.
Cross building
--------------
Point this envvar to the directory where native Harbour executables for
your host platform can be found:
HB_BIN_COMPILE=<HARBOUR_NATIVE_BUILD_DIR>\bin
You need these when building for a platform different than host
(f.e. to create Windows builds on Linux, to create a Windows x64
build on 32-bit Windows or to create Windows CE/ARM build on any
operating systems). For this to work, you will need to point
above environment variables to a native Harbour build available on
your system. You don't need a full native build, harbour, hbpp and
hbmk2 executables are enough for the process to succeed.
EXAMPLES
========
Windows/Windows CE
------------------
NOTES: - All code below should be copied to .bat files or typed at NT
command line.
- Naturally, you'll need to adapt dirs to valid ones on your system.
Don't use spaces in dirs.
- '%1 %2' can be empty, 'clean', 'install' or 'clean install'
depending on what you want to do.

HOW TO GET THE HARBOUR SOURCES
==============================
1.) It's possible you're reading this file as part of the Harbour
source code package. If not, read along.
2.) Harbour source repository
You'll need Subversion (SVN) version control software installed
on your system, and issue this command:
svn co https://harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/harbour-project/trunk/harbour
You can get subsequent updates using this command:
svn update
3.) Harbour nightly sources (updated once a day from source repository)
Download source archive from any of these links and unpack:
http://harbour-project.org/harbour-nightly.zip
http://harbour-project.org/harbour-nightly.tgz
http://harbour-project.org/harbour-nightly.bz2
4.) Harbour source download (stable)
Download source archive from this page and unpack:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=681&package_id=192305
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
Please evaluate these points before reporting an issue on the mailing list.
- Make sure to have carefully read this document.
- Make sure to do a 'clean' before doing a build after refreshing
the sources.
- Make sure to install fresh source tree in a new local directory and
start over. See HOW TO GET THE HARBOUR SOURCES section for instructions
to get the source.
- Keep you PATH clean from old, mixed compiler tools or other Harbour
versions when building Harbour. The surest way to achieve this is to
leave only compiler directory in PATH:
set PATH=C:\<compilerdir>
- Remove all old, unnecessary environment variables from your environment.
Use only those documented in this file.
- Try to do no or only small modifications at once to command examples
included in this file. If it doesn't work, fall back to documented
examples as is.
QUICK START TO BUILD YOUR OWN HARBOUR APPLICATIONS
==================================================
For all platforms you'll need two things:
* Harbour binaries
Either a Harbour binary distribution or a local Harbour
build will be okay. If you're reading this text, it's
very likely you have one of these already.
* Supported ANSI C compiler
Your compiler of choice has to be placed in the PATH
(and configured appropriately according to instructions).
If you use Harbour binary distribution on Windows, you
already have MinGW compiler embedded in the installation,
which will automatically be used, so you don't have to
make any extra steps here.
Examples to build a Harbour application:
- To build one simple .prg:
'hbmk2 hello.prg'
- To build multiple .prg sources into one application:
'hbmk2 mymain.prg client.prg'
- To build an application using a project file:
'hbmk2 myapp.hbp'
- To build an application using incremental mode:
'hbmk2 myapp.hbp -inc'
- To build an application which uses a contrib library:
'hbmk2 myapp.prg -lhbct'
- To build an application which uses a 3rd party library:
'hbmk2 myapp.prg -lsuplib -L<path_to_lib>'
- To build an application which uses a 3rd party library,
and the 3rd party lib has an .hbc file:
'hbmk2 myapp.prg rddleto.hbc -L<path_to_letodb>'
- To build an application which uses Windows resources:
'hbmk2 mymain.prg client.prg myres.rc'
- To build an application which links against Harbour dynamic libraries:
'hbmk2 -shared hello.prg'
- To build an application out of all .prg and .c sources residing
in 'source' subdir:
'hbmk2 -omyapp source/*.prg source/*.c'
Examples to build a Harbour static library:
- To build library 'mylib' from sources:
'hbmk2 mylibsrc.prg -omylib -hblib'
- To build library 'mylib' from sources using incremental mode:
'hbmk2 mylibsrc.prg -omylib -hblib -inc'
NOTES: - Most of the above features can be combined. F.e. to use
incremental build in any of the above commands, just add
'-inc' switch.
- List all available options:
'hbmk2 -help'
Besides the ones listed, you can use all regular Harbour
compiler command line options, like:
-l, -b, -n, -w3 (etc...)
- To make it easier to work with Harbour, it's recommended to
put Harbour binary dir into the PATH:
set PATH=C:\harbour\bin;%PATH% (on Windows)
(this is not a requirement though)
- You can access hbmk2 using absolute or relative paths, and
it will work equally well:
'C:\hb20\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg'
- GNU Make, MSYS, or any other extra tool is *not* needed
to build a Harbour application with above methods.
