hi,
We have an option to set HB_GT_LIB to 'os2pm'.
I'd like to ask OS/2 users what is the use of this,
and do we still need it?
(entirely uneducated guess)
"pm" stands for "presentation manager", which is the os/2 gui. i
suspect this must have been a gt using pm :), all fingers point to
contrib/hbgf and/or examples/hbgf, which appears to have been removed
completely.
My suspect too. It was a hack to add something similar
to OS/2 what we have for Windows called gtgui + mainwin.
Probably in its current form it's not very useful, first
because there don't exist any GUI libs for OS/2 (yet, or
could be that I just missed them), second, because it can
only be used when building core Harbour tools.
Probably the right solution would be a standalone GT, like
GTGUI for OS/2, hopefully such lib will be added as soon as
a GUI lib justifies it (and it's required). Plus a gui main
lib for OS/2 (similar to mainwin).
If there are no objections, I'd like to delete this from GNU
Make system and add support for mainpm lib, which can then
be linked to any OS/2 gui apps. Also hbmk2 can support that.
[ BTW current reference to mainpm object seems wrong, as this
object is never generated. ]
Thanks also to David for the input.
Brgds,
Viktor
