* utils/hbmk2/hbmk2.prg
+ will now add lib/3rd dir to the link commands, so
unicows lib will be found in uninstalled Harbour SVN
source tree.
* contrib/make.hbs
* contrib/hbpost.hbm
+ automatically enable unicows support for contribs, if available.
- deleted support for undocumented __HB_BUILD_WINUNI envvar
* config/global.mk
* config/rules.mk
- deleted support for undocumented __HB_BUILD_WINUNI envvar
* package/winuni/mpkg_win_uni.bat
* package/mpkg_win_nightly.bat
- deleted special support for unicows libs for nightly
and official releases, along with HB_DIR_UNICOWS envvar.
Now these libs are included in all builds.
* config/win/global.mk
+ automatically enable unicows support for core, if available.
* config/win/xcc.mk
* config/win/icc.mk
* config/win/mingw.mk
* config/win/pocc.mk
* config/win/bcc.mk
* config/win/msvc.mk
+ added support for SYSLIBPATHS. (used by unicows support)
! fixed bcc dynlib link command missing libpaths.
; NOTE: watcom unicows support is missing, as it needs
special tricks due to missing separate libpath option
in this compiler/linker.
* config/wce/mingwarm.mk
* config/wce/poccarm.mk
* config/wce/msvcarm.mk
* synced with config/win files
+ config/libbin.mk
+ added rule to install pre-built binary libs.
(for unicows libs)
* Makefile
+ lib/3rd
+ lib/3rd/win
+ lib/3rd/win/mingw
+ lib/3rd/win/mingw/Makefile
+ lib/3rd/win/mingw/libunicows.a
+ lib/3rd/win/mingw/libunicows_license.txt
+ lib/3rd/win/bcc
+ lib/3rd/win/bcc/unicows_license.txt
+ lib/3rd/win/bcc/unicows.lib
+ lib/3rd/win/bcc/Makefile
+ added locally hosted unicows runtime/implibs from:
http://libunicows.sourceforge.net/ by author Vaclav Slavik.
With these libs, it's possible to use UNICODE builds
with both MS unicows.dll and opencows .dll on legacy
Windows-system (Win9x).
These libs will be installed to Harbour core lib directory,
and also used from lib/3rd directory, if they are available.
I've uploaed mingw and bcc libs because these are used
nearly exclusively by users, but they are also available
for older msvc, watcom, dmc and lcc compilers. I don't
think it's worth the extra size to support Win9x using
these legacy compilers, anyhow they can be added easily
if needed (except watcom, which requires more work).
; These changes mean three things:
1. Harbour now has only one build mode on Windows: UNICODE
This will greatly simplify coding and testing and will
allow to focus much better on what's important. It also
allows to drop lots of dual code dealing with separate
UNICODE and non-UNICODE branches.
2. Harbour default builds will now run on Win9x (currently
when using mingw or bcc compilers), though UNICOWS.DLL
is now required. See INSTALL how to get this free .dll
from MS. This also means that Harbour can now theoretically
by built on Win9x systems (I didn't try).
3. Harbour users can create UNICODE builds compatible with
Win9x, by simply adding -lunicows to their .hbp projects.
No extra installation is required.
