The cross compilation method should look something like this: You manually set HB_COMPILER= to your cross target compiler. If the target platform of selected compiler differs from the native platform of hbmk.exe, it will require you to use these envvars to point to your target built Harbour installation: HB_TARGET_PREFIX=C:\harbour-msvc64 .OR. HB_BIN_TARGET=C:\harbour-msvc64\bin HB_LIB_TARGET=C:\harbour-msvc64\lib HB_INC_TARGET=C:\harbour-msvc64\inc The host and target Harbour versions should be pcode compatible. Before we jump into these things it would be better to clean up the whole xbuild situation in Harbour, as there are few problem with current approach: - ARCHITECTURE isn't really architecture, it's rather platform. ARCHITECTURE is x86, amd64, ARM. - COMPILER is a mixture of compiler + architecture. It's just brainstorming, but we'd need something like this: - PLAT (linux, darwin, win, dos, os/2, bsd, hpux, sunos) - ARCH (x86, amd64, arm, ppc32, ppc64, ia64, pa-risc, [unibin]) - COMP (gcc, owatcom, msvc, bcc) Cross compilers would need to be marked as such: gcc-win-x86, gcc-win-arm, msvc-win-arm, msvc-win-amd64, pocc-win-arm, pocc-win-amd64. (WinCE == win-arm). [ It would also greatly help making our system a faster moving target if we could drop support for non-GNU make systems. This would have these consequences: 1) MSVC, BCC users would need mingw-make.exe to create a build. 2) MSVC, BCC GNU-make should be able to create proper .dlls. The other possibility is to drop our GNU-make, and resort to our non-GNU make system, which also supports GCC flavours, so this means: 1) OpenWatcom, POCC, DMC support should be added, maybe also DJGPP. Question who would make these, and which way to go. It looks GNU-make is the easier path, but the two issues should be solved, and we it more difficult to build Harbour on the most popular platforms/compilers. Anyhow I'd like to recheck the situation after fully switching to new hbmk. I hope this will happen rather sooner than later. ] Brgds, Viktor
