WELCOME TO HARBOUR
==================
Harbour is the Free Open Source Software implementation
of a multi-platform, multi-threading, object-oriented, scriptable
programming language, backward compatible with Clipper/xBase.
Harbour consists of a compiler and runtime libraries with multiple
UI and database backends, its own make system and a large
collection of libraries and interfaces to many popular APIs.

1. HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL HARBOUR FROM SOURCE
===============================================
==========================================================================
NOTE: Before reporting a problem to developers, make sure to read the
'TROUBLESHOOTING' section in this document and try the suggestions
you find there.
==========================================================================
For all platforms you'll need:
* Supported ANSI C compiler
* GNU Make (3.81 recommended, minimum 3.79 required, see also platform details)
* Harbour sources (2.0.0 or upper)
on Windows hosts
----------------
(possible cross-build targets: Windows CE, MS-DOS, OS/2, Linux)
Platform specific prerequisites:
1.) Windows XP or upper system is recommended 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. It's also highly discouraged to keep multiple copies
of the same compiler, or different versions of the same compiler
in PATH at the same time. For the list of supported compilers,
look up 'SUPPORTED PLATFORMS AND C COMPILERS' section.
3.) GNU Make 3.81 or upper is required. A copy of this tool
is included in all Harbour packages, so you don't have to do
anything.
If you want to get it separately, you can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/make/
Unpack it to your PATH or Harbour source root directory,
and run it as 'mingw32-make'.
> win-make [install]
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
on Windows hosts with POSIX shells (MSYS/Cygwin)
----------------------------------
You can also use these shells to build Harbour on Windows.
Generally it's recommended to use native shell though.
> sh -c make [install]
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
NOTE: When building for Borland C++ make sure that GNU Make
is executed when typing 'make', Borland Make has the same name.
on MS-DOS hosts
---------------
(possible cross-build targets: Windows, OS/2, Linux)
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.
You can also use included copy named dos-make.exe instead.
> make [install]
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
on OS/2 hosts
-------------
(possible cross-build targets: MS-DOS, OS/2, Linux)
1.) You need to get GNU Make. If you use OS/2 host, 3.81r3 or upper
version is required. We recommend this link:
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/util/make-3.81-r3-bin-static.zip
If you use other host, refer to other platform instructions in
this section.
You can also use included copy named os2-make.exe instead.
> make [install]
To test it, type:
> cd tests
> ..\bin\hbmk2 hello.prg
> hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
on Linux hosts
--------------
(possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS, OS/2)
$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]
To test it, type:
$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
on Darwin (OS X) hosts
----------------------
(possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS)
Platform specific prerequisite:
Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode installed
$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]
To test it, type:
$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
NOTE: You can override default (host) architecture by adding
values below to HB_USER_CFLAGS, HB_USER_LDFLAGS envvars,
you can use multiple values:
Intel 32-bit: "-arch i386"
Intel 64-bit: "-arch x86_64"
PPC 32-bit: "-arch ppc"
PPC 64-bit: "-arch ppc64"
on FreeBSD hosts
----------------
Platform specific prerequisites:
1.) You'll need to have the developer tools installed.
2.) Then you'll need to install gmake and optionally bison.
If you installed the ports collection, then all you need
to do to install bison and gmake is to run the following
commands, which may require that you run su root first to
get the correct permissions:
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/bison
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
$ gmake install
To test it, type:
$ cd tests
$ hbmk2 hello.prg
$ ./hello
You should see 'Hello world!' on screen.
on Minix hosts
--------------
Install GNU make from the Minix pkgsrc repository; for details see
http://wiki.minix3.org/en/UsersGuide/InstallingBinaryPackages
Optionally, GCC may also be installed if you wish to use that instead
of Clang, the Minix system compiler.
on BSD/HP-UX/Solaris/BeOS/Haiku/QNX/*nix hosts
----------------------------------------------
(possible cross-build targets: Windows, Windows CE, MS-DOS)
$ gmake [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]
OR
$ make [install] [HB_PLATFORM=<...>]
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.
2. HOW TO DO A PARTIAL [RE]BUILD
================================
If you want to [re]build only a specific part of Harbour, like
one core library or all core libraries, or all contrib packages,
you have to do everything the same way as for a full build, the
only difference is that you first have to go into the specific
source directory you want to [re]build. When starting GNU Make,
all components under that dir will be [re]built:
cd src/rtl
<make> [clean] [install]
If you want to rebuild one specific contrib package, use this:
cd contrib/<name>
../../bin/<plat>/<comp>/hbmk2 ../make.hb [clean] [custom hbmk2 options]
3. HOW TO CREATE DISTRIBUTABLE PACKAGES
=======================================
Source .tgz on *nixes
---------------------
$ package/mpkg_src.sh
Binary .tgz on *nixes
---------------------
$ export HB_BUILD_PKG=yes
$ make clean install
Binary .deb on Linux
--------------------
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
Binary .rpm on Linux
--------------------
$ package/mpkg_rpm.sh
You can fine-tune the build with these options:
--with static - link all binaries with static libs
--with ads - build components dependent on ads (rddads)
--with allegro - build components dependent on allegro (gtalleg)
--with cups - build components dependent on cups (hbcups)
--with cairo - build components dependent on cairo (hbcairo)
--with curl - build components dependent on libcurl (hbcurl)
--with firebird - build components dependent on firebird (hbfbird, sddfb)
--with freeimage - build components dependent on freeimage (hbfimage)
--with gd - build components dependent on gd (hbgd)
--with mysql - build components dependent on mysql (hbmysql, sddmy)
--with odbc - build components dependent on odbc (hbodbc, sddodbc)
--with pgsql - build components dependent on pgsql (hbpgsql, sddpg)
--with localzlib - build local copy of zlib library
--with localpcre - build local copy of pcre library
--without x11 - do not build components dependent on x11 (gtxwc)
--without curses - do not build components dependent on curses (gtcrs)
--without slang - do not build components dependent on slang (gtsln)
--without gpllib - do not build components dependent on GPL 3rd party code
--without gpm - build components without gpm support (gttrm, gtsln, gtcrs)
Binary .rpm on Linux (cross-builds)
-----------------------------------
for Windows:
$ package/mpkg_rpm_win.sh
for Windows CE:
$ package/mpkg_rpm_wce.sh
Binary .zip + .exe on Windows for all targets (except Linux)
------------------------------------------------------------
> set HB_DIR_NSIS=%ProgramFiles%\NSIS\
> set HB_DIR_ZIP=C:\info-zip\
> set HB_BUILD_PKG=yes
Then run build as usual with 'clean install' options.
See: HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL HARBOUR FROM SOURCE
Binary .zip on MS-DOS for all targets (except Linux)
----------------------------------------------------
> set HB_DIR_ZIP=C:\info-zip\
> set HB_BUILD_PKG=yes
Then run build as usual with 'clean install' options.
See: HOW TO BUILD AND INSTALL HARBOUR FROM SOURCE
Unified .7z + .exe installer for Windows
----------------------------------------
> package\winuni\mpkg_win_uni.bat
NOTE: Carefully read in-file instructions and do the necessary
steps before calling the script.
4. HOW TO ENABLE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS BEFORE BUILD
=================================================
Certain Harbour parts (typically contrib packages) depend on 3rd
party components. To make these Harbour parts built, you need
to tell Harbour where to find the headers for these 3rd party
components.
On *nix systems most of these 3rd party components will
automatically be picked up if installed on 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 this on non-*nix
(Windows, MS-DOS, OS/2) systems for all packages and for a few packages
on *nix which aren't available through official package managers
(f.e. ADS Client).
Note that Harbour is tuned to use 3rd party binary packages in their
default, unmodified ("vanilla") install layout created by their
official/mainstream install kits. If you manually move, rename,
delete or add files under the 3rd party packages' root directory,
the default Harbour build process (especially Windows implib
generation) might not work as expected.
You can set these environment variables before starting
the build. Make sure to adjust them to your own directories:
HB_WITH_ADS=C:\ads\acesdk
HB_WITH_ALLEGRO=C:\allegro\include
HB_WITH_BLAT=C:\blat\full\source
HB_WITH_BZIP2=C:\bzip2 (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_CAIRO=C:\cairo\include\cairo
HB_WITH_CUPS= (on *nix only)
HB_WITH_CURL=C:\curl\include
HB_WITH_CURSES= (on *nix systems and DJGPP, where it's autodetected)
HB_WITH_EXPAT=C:\expat\lib (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_FIREBIRD=C:\Firebird\include
HB_WITH_FREEIMAGE=C:\FreeImage\Dist
HB_WITH_GD=C:\gd\include
HB_WITH_GPM= (on Linux only)
HB_WITH_GS=C:\ghostscript-9.01\psi
HB_WITH_GS_BIN=C:\ghostscript-9.01\bin (on Windows)
HB_WITH_JPEG=C:\jpeglib (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_LIBHARU=C:\libharu\include (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_LIBMAGIC= (currently on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_LZF=C:\liblzf (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MINILZO=C:\minilzo\ (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MINIZIP=C:\zlib\contrib\minizip (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MXML=C:\minixml (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_MYSQL=C:\mysql\include
HB_WITH_OCILIB=C:\ocilib\include
HB_WITH_ODBC= (may only be needed on non-Windows systems)
HB_WITH_OPENSSL=C:\openssl\inc32 OR C:\openssl\include
HB_WITH_PCRE=C:\pcre (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_PGSQL=C:\pgsql\include
HB_WITH_PNG=C:\libpng (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_SLANG= (on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_SQLITE3=C:\sqlite3 (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_TIFF=C:\libtiff (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_TINYMT=C:\tinymt\tinymt (defaults to locally hosted version)
HB_WITH_WATT= (on MS-DOS systems)
HB_WITH_X11= (on *nix systems)
HB_WITH_XDIFF=C:\libxdiff-0.23\xdiff (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
HB_WITH_ZLIB=C:\zlib (defaults to locally hosted version if not found)
To explicitly disable any given components, use the value 'no' (without
quotes). This may be useful to avoid autodetection of installed packages
on *nix systems. You may also use the value 'local' to force using the
locally hosted copy (inside Harbour source repository) of these packages,
where applicable. 'nolocal' will explicitly disable using locally hosted
copy.
Certain contribs can be instructed (when using .hbc files) to link
against static build of their 3rd party lib dependencies (for
advanced users only):
HB_STATIC_ALLEGRO=yes
HB_STATIC_CURL=yes
HB_STATIC_OPENSSL=yes
NOTES: - You need to use native path format to your shell/OS.
- Spaces in directory names aren't currently supported.
(You can use 8.3 name alias on Windows platform, though)
- Don't put directory names inside double quotes.
- Use absolute paths.

6. OPTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN BUILDING HARBOUR
==========================================
You can fine-tune Harbour builds with below listed
environment variables. You can add most of these via the
GNU Make command line also, using 'make VARNAME=value' syntax.
All of these settings are optional and all settings are case
sensitive.
General
-------
- HB_INSTALL_PREFIX Target root directory to install Harbour files.
On *nix systems the default is set to /usr/local/
or $(PREFIX) if specified, and
/usr/local/harbour-<arch>-<comp> for cross-builds.
It's always set to ./pkg/<arch>/<comp> when
HB_BUILD_PKG is set to 'yes'. On non-*nix systems,
you must set it to a valid directory when using
'install'. Use absolute paths only. For a peace of
mind, avoid using spaces and quotes in the name.
You have to use path format native to your shell.
F.e. to specify C:\dir on Windows, with Cygwin
you should use /cygdrive/c/dir, with MSYS /c/dir.
- HB_USER_PRGFLAGS User Harbour compiler options
- HB_USER_CFLAGS User C compiler options
- HB_USER_RESFLAGS User resource compiler options (on win, wce, os2)
- HB_USER_LDFLAGS User linker options for executables
- HB_USER_AFLAGS User linker options for libraries
- HB_USER_DFLAGS User linker options for dynamic libraries
Set these only if autodetection doesn't suit your purpose:
- HB_PLATFORM Override platform autodetection
- HB_COMPILER Override C compiler autodetection
See this section for possible values:
'SUPPORTED PLATFORMS AND C COMPILERS'
See also: HB_CC* settings.
Special
-------
- HB_BUILD_NAME=[<name>] Create named build. This allows to keep
multiple builds in parallel for any given
platform/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. (Back)slashes will be stripped from
the name though.
- HB_BUILD_PKG=yes Create release package. Default: no
Requires 'clean install' in root source dir.
- HB_BUILD_DYN=no Create Harbour dynamic libraries. Default: yes
- HB_BUILD_CONTRIB_DYN=yes Create contrib dynamic libraries. Default: no,
except Windows platform, where it's yes.
- HB_BUILD_SHARED=yes Create Harbour executables in shared mode.
Default: yes when HB_INSTALL_PREFIX points
to a *nix system location, otherwise no.
- HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes Create a debug build. Default: no
- HB_BUILD_STRIP=
[all|bin|lib|no] Strip symbols and debug information from binaries.
Default: no
- HB_BUILD_OPTIM=no Enable C compiler optimizations. Default: yes
- HB_BUILD_MODE=[cpp|c] Change default build mode to C++ or C.
Default: c, except for msvc* compilers, where it's cpp.
- HB_BUILD_PARTS=
[all|compiler|lib] Build only specific part of Harbour.
- HB_BUILD_NOGPLLIB=yes Disable components dependent on GPL 3rd party code,
to allow Harbour for commercial (closed-source)
projects. Default: no
- HB_BUILD_3RDEXT=no Enable autodetection of 3rd party components
on default system locations. Default: yes
- HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=no [<l>] Don't build any (or space separated <l> list of)
contrib packages. Please note it won't prevent
building packages which are dependencies of other
(enabled) packages.
- HB_BUILD_CONTRIBS=[<l>] Build space separated <l> list of contrib
libraries. Build all if left empty (default).
- HB_BUILD_ADDONS=<l> Build space separated <l> list of additional .hbp
projects.
- HB_COMPILER_VER=[<ver>] Set C compiler version. This is used with win/msvc,
win/mingw and cygwin/gcc targets currently.
<ver> format:
<15><0>[<0>] = <major><minor>[.<revision>]
Default: filled by compiler autodetection or empty
- HB_USER_LIBS=[<list>] Add space separated <list> of libs to link process.
Lib names should be without extension and path.
You only need this in special cases, like CodeGuard
build with win/bcc.
- HB_INSTALL_IMPLIB=no Copy import libraries created for external .dll
dependencies to the library install directory in
'install' build phase. Default: yes
(for Windows/OS/2 targets only. Please note
that this feature doesn't work with all possible
binary distributions of 3rd party packages.
We test only the official/mainstream ones. Also
note that the generated implibs will require .dlls
compatible with the ones used at build time.)
- HB_INSTALL_3RDDYN=yes Copy dynamic libraries of external .dll dependencies
to the dynamic library directory in 'install' build
phase. Default: no
- HB_SRC_ROOTPATH=<dir> When using GNU Make older than 3.81, you shall set
the root directory of Harbour source tree as an
absolute path. If not set, some build functionality
may fail, like detection of 3rd party packages with
locally hosted sources.
With newer make versions, this variable is ignored.
- HB_REBUILD_EXTERN=yes Rebuild extern headers. This is typically used by
developers after code modifications or before
release. Default: no
- HB_REBUILD_PARSER=yes Rebuild language parser sources. Typically
you only need this if your are Harbour core
developer modifying grammar rules (.y).
Requires GNU Bison 1.28 or upper in PATH.
Default: no
- HB_CCPATH=[<dir>/] Used with non-*nix gcc family compilers (and
sunpro) to specify path to compiler/linker/archive
tool to help them run from *nix hosts as cross-build
tools. Ending slash must be added.
- HB_CCPREFIX=[<prefix>] Used with gcc compiler family to specify
compiler/linker/archive tool name prefix.
- HB_CCSUFFIX=[<suffix>] Used with gcc compiler family to specify
compiler/linker tool name suffix
(usually version number).
Cross-building
--------------
You can build Harbour for target platforms different than host
platform. F.e. you can create Windows build on *nix systems, Linux
builds on Windows systems, etc. It's also possible to build targets
for different than host CPU architectures. F.e. you can create
Windows 64-bit build on 32-bit Windows platform, or Linux x86-64
build on x86 hosts, or Linux MIPS build on x86 host, etc.
Point this envvar to the directory where native Harbour executables
for your host platform can be found:
HB_HOST_BIN=<HARBOUR_NATIVE_BUILD_DIR>\bin
If you leave this value empty, the make system will try to autodetect it,
so in practice all you have to do is to create a native build first (no
'install' required), then create the cross-build. If you set this value
manually, it may be useful to know that harbour, hbpp and hbmk2
executables are required for a cross-build process to succeed.
7. DEBUGGING OPTIONS
====================
Tracing
-------
Build Harbour with:
HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes
Run app with:
HB_TR_LEVEL=debug
HB_TR_OUTPUT=<filename> (to override default stderr output)
HB_TR_SYSOUT=yes (to enable additional system specific logging output: OutputDebugString() on Windows, syslog() on *nix systems)
Memory statistics/tracking
--------------------------
Build Harbour with:
HB_USER_CFLAGS=-DHB_FM_STATISTICS
Valgrind (on linux and darwin targets)
--------
Build Harbour with:
HB_BUILD_DEBUG=yes
Build app with:
$ hbmk2 myapp -debug
Run app with:
$ valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --num-callers=16 -v ./myapp 2> myapp.log
CodeGuard (on win/bcc target only)
---------
Build Harbour with:
HB_USER_CFLAGS=-vG
HB_USER_LIBS=cg32
8. EXAMPLES
===========
for Windows (x86, 32-bit) hosts
-------------------------------
NOTES: - All code below should be copied to batch files or typed at command
line.
- Naturally, you'll need to adapt dirs to valid ones on your system.
Don't use spaces in dirs.
- You can use additional 'clean', 'install' or 'clean install'
(without quotes) make parameters depending on what you want to do.
- To redirect all output to a log file, append this after the make
command: '> log.txt 2>&1' (without quotes)

both x86 and x64 without building a native target first, and potential
differences with some compilers in order to use native binaries if
they are available.

9. HOW TO GET HARBOUR
=====================
Stable versions
---------------
1.) Harbour stable binary download
Download binary archive from this page and unpack or install:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/
(choose highest version number)
2.) Harbour stable source download
Download source archive from this page and unpack:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/source/
(choose highest version number)
Unstable versions
-----------------
WARNING: Recommended for users contributing to Harbour development,
following the development mailing list, commits and reading
ChangeLog.txt.
1.) Harbour live source repository
You'll need Git version control software installed on your system,
and issue this command:
git clone https://github.com/harbour/core.git harbour
You can get subsequent updates using this command:
git pull
2.) Harbour unstable sources
Download source archive from any of these links and unpack:
https://github.com/harbour/core/archive/master.zip
https://github.com/harbour/core/archive/master.tar.gz
3.) Harbour unstable binaries (updated once a day from live source repository)
Windows (unified):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/nightly/harbour-nightly-win.exe/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/nightly/harbour-nightly-win.7z/download
10. TROUBLESHOOTING
===================
Always evaluate these points before reporting an issue on the developers'
mailing list.
1. Make sure to have carefully read this document.
2. Make sure to do a 'make clean' before doing a build after refreshing
the sources.
3. If that still fails, make sure to install fresh source tree in a new
local directory and start over. See 'HOW TO GET HARBOUR' section for
instructions to get the source.
In case you installed Harbour into system locations (this used to be
the case with some *nix users, albeit mostly completely unnecessarily
or wrongly - f.e. for unstable versions), you will need to remember
cleaning off Harbour from all of these locations, too.
Advice: Never install unstable Harbour versions to system locations.
4. If you are doing a cross-build, make sure to have rebuilt the native
Harbour executables for your host platform. See 'HB_HOST_BIN'
build messages to find their location.
5. Keep your PATH clean from old, mixed compiler tools or other Harbour
versions when building Harbour. The surest way to achieve this is to
leave only C compiler directory in PATH:
set PATH=C:\<compilerdir>
If you use Harbour official binary distro on Windows, even above is
unnecessary and not recommended.
6. Remove all old, unnecessary environment variables (for both Harbour
and C compiler) from your environment. Also remove any custom settings
for your C compiler.
Use only those documented in this file.
Follows some environment variable settings which are commonly believed
by users to be useful, but which in reality are either not needed or
not even used by Harbour build process and hbmk2.
You should delete them:
set HB_DIR=<Harbour root dir>
set HB_PATH=<Harbour root dir>
set HRB_DIR=<Some Harbour dir>
set INCLUDE=<Harbour include dir>
set LIB=<Harbour lib dir>
set HB_GT_LIB=
set HB_*_INSTALL=
set HB_INSTALL_???=
set HB_INC_*=
set HB_DIR_*=
set HB_LEX=
7. Remove any Harbour build settings documented in 'OPTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN
BUILDING HARBOUR' section.
8. Try to do no or only small modifications at once to command examples
included in 'EXAMPLES' section of this document. If it doesn't work,
fall back to documented examples _as is_.
9. If everything fails and you are to report a build problem to Harbour
developers, make sure to include your OS version/language/CPU architecture,
Harbour revision, C compiler name/release and version, environment
variables and verbose log output containing _both stderr and stdout in
one combined stream_ (use 'make > log.txt 2>&1'). Enable verbose
mode using 'HB_BUILD_VERBOSE=yes'.
Complete log output is rarely necessary, but always make sure to include
the top of the output (lines starting with '!') and the area where
problematic behavior occurred _first_. Make sure to not only include
a link failure or a make tool failure, as it's most of the time not
enough information. Compress your log using zip if it is larger
than 25KB. (use the extension '.zip')
With these, you have much better chance to get useful or any response.
10. Do not alter the directory layout and files in Harbour and 3rd party
packages.
11. If you are to report a build problem with a Harbour application,
all of the above points apply, plus make sure to use '-trace'
command line option when running hbmk2 and redirect the result to
a file (see above how).
It's good idea to first remove all manual references to Harbour
core components from makefiles and custom environment. F.e. it's
commom mistake to add C compiler header and/or lib dirs, Harbour core
header and/or lib dirs, built-in constants to makefiles or environment.
No such thing is necessary as all of these are automatically handled
by hbmk2. IOW start simple and don't be overbusy with "fine-tuning"
your configuration. If you need to, the problem is most probably
elsewhere. It's also good idea to try with Harbour nightly binary or
official stable release first.
12. If you are to report a problem with Harbour itself, always provide
self-contained, minimal source code example. Do not use xhb contrib
library, or any 3rd party Harbour libraries. The example shall reproduce
the problem using official stable or nightly Harbour build.
Do not post executables and other binary files. If your source contains
non-ASCII (national, accented, special) chars, clearly mark the
codepage/encoding used (UTF-8 recommended) and attach the files
compressed with zip. (use the extension '.zip')
See more on self-contained examples:
http://sscce.org/
13. If your example involves compatibility components, make sure to test
it against original implementation (for example, test legacy Clipper
core language elements against real CA-Clipper 5.2e or 5.3b, or hbct
functions against CT3 library, etc.)
11. 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 official 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.
It's recommended (but not required) to put hbmk2 into the PATH
(f.e. by using 'set PATH=C:\harbour\bin;%PATH%' on Windows).
Then see hbmk2 documentation, with examples:
https://github.com/harbour/core/blob/master/utils/hbmk2/hbmk2.md

14. HOW TO PARTICIPATE
======================
There are several ways to help making Harbour better:
- You can give feedback/suggestions to developers on available
channels.
- You can submit patches or source code on above channels.
Patches are accepted in 'git diff' (or 'diff -u') format,
created from root directory of the repository sandbox.
Zip your patch file before attaching it. Use the extension '.zip'.
Always use the same coding/formatting style as you find in
the files you're patching. The easiest way to achieve this
is to use these commands to format your sources:
$ uncrustify -c <harbour_dir>/bin/harbour.ucf <file.c|.h>
$ <harbour_dir>/bin/hbformat <file.prg|.hb|.ch>
- Text editor setting for Harbour files
- Encoding is either 7-bit ASCII or UTF-8.
- Always add spaces, never tabs
- Never convert spaces to tabs
- Remove trailing spaces from lines
- Always keep one (not zero or multiple) newline at the end of file
- Use platform native newline (CRLF or LF)
- In the rare case you need to send something large (> 100KB),
use this free service: http://dropcanvas.com
- Given a good history of valuable contributions, you can get
write access to the source repository.
- Of course there is more into Harbour contribution than writing
code, so you're welcome to do so in other areas like documentation,
helping fellow users, giving input on decisions, testing in
various environments, etc.
