Przemyslaw, Viktor,
At first, I've tested the new feature for HBMK2 with HMG samples
using LOAD WINDOW command and all goes fine. So I've already
published new HMG test build INCLUDING HBMK2 and various mult-ifile
samples showing how to work with it.
Very good news. Thank you very much and all the effort you put into it.
Thanks again for your help on that. All HMG projects family keeps
compatibily with LOAD WINDOW command, so these are good news for a
lot of people.
Regarding the Harbour files included in the HMG distribution, I've
made some tests and discovered an interesting thing.
The files I've excluded (mainly: most of \bin, \doc, \examples and
\tests) has a compressed size about 8MB (standard zip).
That size makes a notable difference to me, but I've noticed about
one important thing: Using Inno Setup to do the installer with the
lzma/ultra64 compression mode (I'm using it) the initial compressed
size of 8MB, becomes about only 2MB. So, I've decided to INCLUDE
those files on the HMG distribution.
I hope that helps.
This is great news! Many thanks, I'm sure this way everyone benefits.
I'm looking forward installing latest HMG version.
I haven't checked yet, but if possible please also include INSTALL doc
(next to ChangeLog, TODO and COPYING in Harbour root dir), this file
mainly contains information on how to build Harbour, but it's more than
that and contains useful information even for binary distro users,
like hbmk2 samples, etc.
BTW, in NSIS installer which I used for Harbour Windows binary distros,
there is an option as well to use lzma + solid compression:
SetCompressor /solid lzma
It makes end result size comparable to .7z compression, which is quite
good.
You can check /package/winuni/mpkg_win_uni.nsi for a complete, working
example.
[ OFF: Even UPX supports lzma compression, starting with 3.0. It gives
huge
drop in executable size, with a slightly longer loading time. ]
Brgds,
Viktor
