You're right but as we've seen lately it's not easy for a newbie to get it built and this gets even worst if you plan to have ti for Lin, Win and OSX. There are many build.sh, makefiles, envvar to set and a newbie is always in front of many different options. Under Win or OSX, getting a working setup that uses some contribs like gd or mysql requires many steps. I'm trying to create the easiest possible setup and to define the "defaults" that hide the differences between the 3 OS that I support and document where to get the dependencies and how to install them. My goal is to remove every "misleading" doc or examples for this I'm thinking to start a new project that offer a "distribution" ready to use if the defaults will be accepted. Actually I can build under Lin and Win without setting any envvar ( using /opt/harbour as default install path since it's usable in all the 3 OS ). I'm documenting how to setup external dependencies for zip, gd, odbc, curl, pgsql, mysql, xhgtk. I plan to provide a skeleton Makefiles to create binaries, libs, cgi and hrb. F.e. In the makefiles I've replace HB_ARCHITECTURE with: ... OS=$(shell uname -s | tr -d "[-]" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]') ... ifneq (,$(findstring mingw32,$(OS))) ... ifneq (,$(findstring linux,$(OS))) ... ifneq (,$(findstring darwin,$(OS))) 0but the differences about the use of the shared libs between Lin and Win are still present. F.e. to link against gd and pgsql you need to use sth like: EXT_LIST=$(HARBOUR_DYN_DIR)/hbgd.dll /opt/local/bin/libgd2.dll $(HARBOUR_DYN_DIR)/hbpgsql.dll /opt/pgsql/bin/libpq.dll What do you think about adding switches like: -gd-shared, -gd-static, -pgsql-shared, ...? BTW I've few showstoppers: 1 - in hb-func.sh using hb_exesuf="exe" prevent to create cgi binaries called myprog.cgi. I've set it to "" like in linux but then the strip step complains. So far I couldn't find the right solution ( both 1.0.1 and 1.1 ) 2 - gtwvt is "broken" in the sense the fontsize selection doesn't work anymore see my msg "gtvwt problem" ( 1.1 only ). What do you think about creating a GT reference test so that every GT change can be checked against it? 3 - gtxwc doesn't support palette definition and HB_GTI_CLOSABLE. Actually I'm hacking the colors constants and I've commented out "s_atomDelWin" message. Could you kindly give me some hints? best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
