I don't know a good and sure way to fix this. Probably not a huge problem in most situations. As a workaround you may set HB_*_INSTALL dirs to invalid locations, so that they won't be created. > I did a full rebuild on my apps, I had to manually copy cstruct.ch, > hbctypes.ch and hbxml.ch from contrib\xhb. Is this expected? Yes, only xhb.ch and hbcompat.ch are copied to 'include' to not pollute it with other xhb header names which can cause potential compatibility problems. Actually current method of copying headers to Harbour system header may not be the best solution. I'm still thinking on it, but for 2.0.x I'd like to keep current state. I'm thinking on closing the gap between ideal 3rd party lib behaviour and contrib lib behaviour. Which means, each contrib should keep all its files in their local dirs (lib and include). Programs referring to them should use an .hbc file instead of direct reference to .lib. This would solve downstream lib dependencies and header locations in one. This also means that contribs should eventually be switched to use hbmk2 as their build systems. This in turn means that they can be easily detached from Harbour contrib dir and moved into separate repositories f.e., and overall it makes managing contribs very simple and independent from our make system. Contribs can easily be added/removed without major concerns. Unofficial distros can easily bundle new contribs, or remove unneeded ones. etc etc. It's even easy to distribute all or one contrib as sepearate install. The only file which need to be stored in a known location, with a distinct name is the .hbc file (can be in current /lib) > Otherwise everything is perfect, congratulations on a fine job with > hbmk2.exe.
