In the past I suggested to create configuration for XMate which will use hbmk2 to compile and link programs. Now the set of hbmk2 options seems to reach some final form so it should be easy to create it. I haven't tried but I think it should be possible to make it quite fast. > Pritpal in past have a harbour distribution who integrate xmate so > think that he can understand the importance of visual > another candidate for integration is xdevstudio but is Spanish only afaik The 1-st and most important thing is portability. Such tool should work with MS-Windows, MacOSX, Linux and other POSIX systems using X-Windows and some portable GUI library like GTK or QT (or even sth older like motif, xforms, ...). XMate and xDevStudio work only in Windows what strongly reduce their usages. XMate is mostly written as .prg code using some xHarbour extensions and Windows API library created by Andrzej Woś. Maybe we can try to contact with Andrzej and ask him about multiplatform version of xMate or free release at least of part of xMate code which is platform independent so we can try to adopt it to HBQT or other portable GUI library for Harbour. Maybe even someone asked about it? BTW Who of us last time contact with Andrzej? Looking at my mail archive I see that I received last message from him on 26 Jul 2007. Andrzej if you are reading please answer or send a message to my private e-mail address. > Other option used for visual path > in which way other harbour user find productivity in compile-edit-debug cycle. Each of us has own preferences so even if you like some tools then it does not have to be usable for other users. But I agree that multiplatform version of xMate can be great extension for Harbour community. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
